Cricket legend Mark Taylor has expressed disappointment over fresh claims made by Usman Khawaja regarding the 2018 ball-tampering saga, warning that revisiting the controversy will only send debate "round in circles".
Taylor, speaking on breakfast television, indicated he was disheartened by Khawaja raising new allegations about the incident in his recently published book. The former Australian captain suggested the renewed discussion was unlikely to produce any meaningful resolution, given how extensively the saga has already been examined.
Khawaja's book has reignited conversation about one of Australian cricket's most controversial chapters, but Taylor's comments signal that some within the game's establishment believe the time for relitigating those events has passed.
