Sandpapergate row: Starc stands by his version despite Warner backing Khawaja

Mitchell Starc has once again addressed the controversy surrounding the 2018 ball-tampering incident, reaffirming his stance since 2021. Meanwhile, David Warner has backed Usman Khawaja's assertions, labeling them as the truth. He expressed his disappointment over the lack of in-depth scrutiny during Cricket Australia's initial probe.
