Mitch Marsh has refused to answer key questions about the 2018 Sandpapergate scandal in a fiery press conference exchange with journalists.

Marsh said: "I respect that certain people have told their stories, but I'm not here to share mine."

Australia's Test captain, Pat Cummins, is set to front a press conference in Sydney on Friday morning and has promised to answer "any and all media".

Australia's one-day captain, Mitch Marsh, has refused to address key aspects of the Sandpapergate ball-tampering scandal as journalists peppered him with questions at a press conference.

Marsh, who was bowling when Cameron Bancroft was spotted hiding a piece of sandpaper in his pants during the 2018 series, spent most of the 12-minute press conference straight-batting questions about the infamous South Africa tour and Usman Khawaja's explosive allegations.

The very first question put to Marsh was: "Did you know that sandpaper was being used to tamper with cricket balls in South Africa?"

"Jeez, you hit a six off the first ball there, mate. Well done," Marsh replied.

"I respect that certain people have told their stories, but I'm not here to share mine.

"I know that might sound weird, but it's a big week for us, and it's an important time for this one-day group.

"I really respect that Uzzy has told his story. He's written his book, and my focus is really on tomorrow."

Marsh was continually peppered with questions about why he was not willing to speak on the topic.

"I respect that others probably haven't, but I have, and I hope that's respected.

"This is my choice to not go back there. Who knows? Maybe I'll write a book one day."

Marsh insisted he held no grudges against Khawaja.

"I respect Uzzy for telling his story and for writing his book, and I don't sit here coming from a place of judgement," Marsh said.

"Everyone's got their story. Some will be willing to share it, and others might not, purely on the basis of the fact that they've moved on.

"It's really important that at some stage we do."

Australia's Test captain, Pat Cummins, is set to front a press conference in Sydney tomorrow morning and has promised to answer "any and all media".

Which football club has had most international captains in the same team?

A quick web search finds a fuss being made in various corners of the internet of Chelsea’s 2009-10 squad because it contained six national team captains in Michael Ballack (Germany), Petr Cech (Czech Republic), Didier Drogba (Côte d’Ivoire), Branislav Ivanovic (Serbia), Mikel John Obi (Nigeria) and John Terry (England). Ivanovic, you see, was not named Serbia captain until 2012 and Mikel, who was but a whippersnapper at 22 when the 2009-10 season started, was still seven years from getting his hands on the Nigeria armband.

Bethell faces fitness race for South Africa Tests after being ruled out of Australia tour

All-rounder sent back to UK with swelling on knee South Africa Test series begins on 17 December Jacob Bethell is battling to be fit for England’s Test series in South Africa next month after being ruled out of the white-ball tour of Australia. The 23-year-old underwent surgery on his right knee at the end of August and while he was not expected to be ready for the one-day internationals that start in Perth on Friday, it was hoped he would feature in the Twenty20s that follow.
