The book has reopened debate over Australia's Cape Town Test against South Africa in March 2018, where Cameron Bancroft was caught on camera applying sandpaper to the ball. Bancroft received a nine-month ban, while Steve Smith and David Warner were each suspended for 12 months.
The former opener was approached by The Australian at Sydney Airport on Sunday. After arriving in a chauffeur-driven vehicle, he was escorted through security by an airport duty manager and later accompanied by Qantas staff towards his flight.
"What I wrote in my book is what I wrote in my book and it’s the truth. That’s all I have to say. In the name of the great Cameron Bancroft, I’ve got nothing else to say," Khawaja said.
Pat Cummins Calls Khawaja's Claims About Australia's Bowling Attack 'Complete and Utter Nonsense'
Pat Cummins rejected Usman Khawaja's claim that the entire Australian team knew sandpaper was being used during the Cape Town Test. The Australia captain insisted that he had no prior knowledge of the plan and had maintained the same position over the past eight years.
"I’ve said that consistently for the last eight years. I did not know that was happening. But I think Usman actually says things that are actually far more serious than that. He says I and others were architects of a scheme to ball-tamper with sandpaper. That’s complete and utter nonsense," Cummins added.

Usman Khawaja had also faced questions from Sarah Ferguson during an interview on ABC's 7.30 program on Monday. He avoided directly answering questions about Cummins' alleged prior knowledge of the scandal and admitted that he was unsure how the revelations would affect their friendship.
Meanwhile, former Australia vice-captain Warner backed Khawaja's account and questioned Cricket Australia's investigation into the incident. Warner, who received a 12-month ban alongside Smith, claimed on Instagram that the governing body had not interviewed Hazlewood, Starc or Lyon during its initial probe.
