Hayden Joins to Discuss Australia's Sandpaper 'Civil War' | England’s Bethell Blow

Australia legend Matthew Hayden joins Jos and Broady to discuss what newspapers have dubbed the ‘civil war’ in cricket down under after Usman Khawaja reopened the wounds of the 2018 Sandpapergate scandal. They discuss how the story is dividing a proud sporting nation, whether the investigation should be reopened and whether it could widen divisions in the current Australia team in the run-up to the 2027 Ashes in England.
