‘Anyone Who Believes America’s A City, Doesn’t Bother Me’: Smith’s Brutal Dig At Panesar Ahead Of Ashes Opener

By IANS News November 20, 2025 • 14:00 PM View: 296

Steve Smith: Australia’s stand-in skipper Steve Smith delivered a harsh dig at Monty Panesar on the former England spinner’s 'sandpaper' row comment ahead of the 2025 Ashes series.

Panesar had previously stated that England should make Smith ‘feel guilty’ regarding his involvement in the Sandpapergate, ball-tampering scandal against South Africa, which led to the batter losing his position as Australia's full-time captain in 2018.
