Joe Root responded to Usman Khawaja's claims that Australia experimented with ball-tampering during the 2017-18 Ashes, stating he does not believe such practices were widespread in world cricket at that time. The England and Wales Cricket Board declined to comment when approached by Sky Sports News. Root is part of the England squad set to face Australia in three upcoming ODIs.
