Ex-Australia pacer Chadd Sayers, speaking about 2018 "sandpapergate" scandal, said the sandpaper was brought onto the field and eventually passed to him during break in play. "The sandpaper was given to me to take off [the field]...That wasn't planned or anything," Sayers, who was the 12th man in the 2018 Test, noted. He added Cricket Australia didn't interview him.
