  Usman Khawaja has canceled his remaining media interviews to promote his autobiography, Sabr. His decision follows a challenging interview with Sarah Ferguson where he faced questions about the 2018 ball-tampering scandal. Khawaja expressed concerns that future discussions would mainly revolve around this controversy rather than other aspects of his book. He emphasized the need for the entire team to accept accountability for the incident.
