'Big Brown Mark On My Sheets': Usman Khawaja Reveals Bizarre Michael Beer Incident In Autobiography

Former Australia player Usman Khawaja's autobiography 'Sabr' has gained immense attention for the revelations it has made. Among the most controversial revelations are those surrounding the infamous Sandpapergate scandal that shook Australian cricket. While the focus remains on the incident and the subsequent comments made by several former and current players who were part of the team at the time, Khawaja's book continues to surprise readers with its shocking revelations. The former Australia batter has also shared an embarrassing anecdote involving his former teammate Michael Beer.

According to a viral social media post, Khawaja has written in his book that Beer accidentally "s**rted" on his bed. Giving details of the incident, Khawaja revealed that Beer had come to his room for dinner and sat on the edge of the bed due to a lack of space. Midway through their meal, Beer sneezed and shouted, "Oh s**t!"

Beer's scream worried Khawaja, and he quickly checked on his teammate. Beer then apologised to him and got off the bed. Khawaja soon realised that Beer had left a big brown mark on his bedsheet, and the same mark was on his pants as well.

"He proceeded to get off my bed, with a big brown mark etched into my sheets. The same brown mark was on his pants. He'd sneezed and 's**rted' - you know, farted but s**tted. Right on the bed," Khawaja wrote in his autobiography, according to the viral post.

Australia captain Pat Cummins on Friday finally decided to address the claims made by his former teammate Khawaja about the 2018 Sandpapergate scandal that rocked the country's cricketing ecosystem, as he held a press conference.

Cummins said Khawaja was "100 per cent wrong" in claiming that the entire team knew about "Sandpapergate", calling the allegation "complete and utter nonsense".

The retired Khawaja reopened old wounds with the release of his autobiography this week and a chapter dealing with the 2018 ball-tampering scandal in South Africa that rocked world cricket. In the book, the opener alleged that the entire team, including Cummins, knew about the plot to rough up the ball with sandpaper to make it swing. The scandal centred around the third Test in Cape Town, but Khawaja also claimed that the tactic had been used in the second Test at Port Elizabeth.

"When he says we all knew, if by that he means we knew sandpaper was going out on the field, he's 100 per cent wrong," a candid Cummins said at a press conference.
