Former Australian Test opener Usman Khawaja has defended the timing of his ball-tampering revelations, saying he has not “thrown anyone under the bus,” The Guardian reported on Sunday.

Khawaja issued an explanation on social media a day after making claims about sandpaper use in Test cricket, according to the newspaper. The Guardian also reported that he would “not deny” that everyone knew about the sandpaper.

His latest comments address his decision to speak publicly about the allegations.
