Australian Test cricket captain Pat Cumins has made his first public comments since the firestorm surrounding Usman Khawaja’s controversial biography.

Breaking his silence on the matter, Cummins took to social media to explain he will be making himself available to speak in detail on the sandpaper gate matter in Friday morning.

“I’m training at Cricket Central tomorrow morning before the Blues play in the Shield match,” Cummins posted.

“Happy to speak with any and all media about the events of this week.”

Cummins said he has been taking time try and better understand ‘the long list and full extent of Uzzy’s allegations so I can respond properly’.

The use of the word ‘allegations’ seems extremely pertinent.

It also suggests that whatever Cummins has to say, it’s sure to make for compelling viewing as the Australian captain treads a very delicate tightrope with the entire cricket world watching on.
