Cummins rejects Khawaja's claim he was denied captaincy due to skin colour and Pakistani heritage

Australia captain Pat Cummins rejected Usman Khawaja's claim that his skin colour and Pakistani heritage affected his chances of leading Australia. "To think...the job that I hold is quarantined from people based on their skin colour...that's a pretty big statement," he said. Calling the allegation "the most serious" of Khawaja's claims, he added, "I couldn't disagree with it any more."
