Played 'less aggressively' due to repercussions of sandpaper-gate, says Pat Cummins

Melbourne, April 10: Australia fast bowler Pat Cummis has said that because of the repercussions of the infamous Newlands ball-tampering scandal, they played "less aggressively" against India in the 2018-19 Test series which they lost at home.

"I think probably a bigger factor was six months before leading into that Indian series the media and everyone commentating on the Aussie cricket team were pretty clear in their direction in the way they wanted the Aussies team to go and that was playing a little bit less aggressively out on the field," Cummins told BBC Sport.
