What the reports sayEach newsroom’s own summary of its report, from its feed

Usman Khawaja has been accused by several members of the Australian team, including Pat Cummins and fellow pacer Mitchell Starc, of making those remarks to promote or "sell" his book.
The controversy resurfaced after Khawaja made several claims in his memoir, Sabr, suggesting that the entire Australian team, including current Test captain Cummins, knew about the plan to alter the condition of the ball.
