卡瓦贾自传翻出“砂纸门”旧案：称全队都知道用砂纸
澳大利亚前开球手乌斯曼·卡瓦贾说，2018 年“砂纸门”球具篡改事件，整个澳大利亚队都知道。卡瓦贾 11 月 7 日周六在《悉尼先驱晨报》刊登的自传《萨布尔》摘录中写道：“全是我们。不是击球手，不是投球手，不是工作人员。是所有人。”
卡瓦贾现年 39 岁，共打过 88 场测试赛、得到 6229 分，2026 年 1 月悉尼灰烬杯测试赛后退役。他的自传《萨布尔》（阿拉伯语，意为耐心与坚忍）定于 11 月 10 日周二出版。他在书中说，用砂纸改变球的状态是在系列赛第二场、伊丽莎白港（今格贝哈）测试赛期间在更衣室公开讨论的，球队在那场比赛就发现砂纸能有效制造反向摆动，并在那场就用过；开普敦第三场测试赛的计划，全队上下事先都知道。卡梅伦·班克罗夫特在开普敦被电视镜头拍到用砂纸擦球，事件由此曝光。
这一说法直接挑战澳大利亚板球协会 2018 年的调查结论。当年调查认定只有队长史蒂夫·史密斯、副队长大卫·华纳与班克罗夫特三人事先知情：史密斯与华纳被禁赛 12 个月，华纳还被终身禁止担任领导职务。卡瓦贾说，调查从未找他谈过话，尽管开普敦测试赛期间他就坐在班克罗夫特旁边的更衣室里。四名投球手帕特·康明斯、米切尔·斯塔克、乔什·黑兹尔伍德与内森·里昂 2021 年曾发表联合声明，否认事先知情。
澳大利亚板球协会在摘录刊登当天发表声明，坚持原调查结论，称“迄今提交给板协的所有相关信息都已得到妥善考虑，我们对廉政程序的结论仍然有信心”，没有宣布重新调查。
Khawaja's Autobiography Reopens Sandpapergate: 'It Was All of Us'
Former Australian opener Usman Khawaja has claimed that the entire Australia team was aware of the use of sandpaper in the Cape Town Test of 2018. In extracts from his autobiography, Sabr, published in the Sydney Morning Herald on Saturday, November 7, Khawaja wrote: "It was all of us. Not the batters, not the bowlers, not the staff. All of us."
Khawaja, 39, played 88 Tests and scored 6,229 runs before retiring after the final Ashes Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground in January 2026. His autobiography Sabr — Arabic for patience and endurance — is scheduled for release on Tuesday, November 10. In the book, he says the sandpaper tactic was discussed openly in the Australian dressing room during the second Test of the 2018 series at Port Elizabeth, now Gqeberha, and that the team discovered sandpaper as an effective way to get reverse swing there and used it in that Test, before the infamous Cape Town incident. Cameron Bancroft was caught on camera using sandpaper on the ball during the third Test at Cape Town.
The claim directly challenges Cricket Australia's findings from 2018, which determined that only captain Steve Smith, vice-captain David Warner and Bancroft had prior knowledge of the tampering plan. Smith and Warner were banned for 12 months, with Warner also banned from leadership positions for life. Khawaja said he was never interviewed by Cricket Australia's investigation, even though he sat next to Bancroft in the dressing room throughout that Cape Town Test. Bowlers Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Nathan Lyon denied any prior knowledge in a joint 2021 statement.
Cricket Australia issued a statement on Saturday, hours after the extracts appeared, defending the conclusions of its earlier investigation, saying all relevant information presented to it to date "has been properly considered and we remain comfortable with the findings of our integrity process." The board has not announced any fresh investigation.
