Former Pakistan captain and legendary fast bowler Wasim Akram has cast doubt on Pete Cummins' statement while breaking his silence on the infamous ball-tampering sandpaper controversy.

Wasim Akram said in a video circulating on social media that it is not difficult for any experienced bowler to recognize by looking at the ball whether it has been naturally roughened or damaged by sandpaper.

He said that under normal conditions there is a clear difference between the marks on the ball and the scratches made by sandpaper.

He advised cricket fans that they can witness the difference themselves with the new ball and sandpaper.

Wasim Akram clarified that his intention is not to support or oppose anyone, but the hallmark of Australian cricket is integrity and fierce competition in the game.
