Ian Healy has taken aim at Usman Khawaja for mentioning him in his explosive memoir which was released earlier this week.

Khawaja has dominated the headlines this week for revelations he made in the book claiming the entire Australian team knew about sandpapergate before it happened back in 2018.

But it's not just the ball tampering saga that has people talking; Khawaja has taken the gloves off and spared none of his critics in the book title Sabr - including Healy.

The SENQ Breakfast co-host was critical of the now 39-year-old when he opted to attend the Australian Grand Prix back in 2024 instead of playing for Queensland in the Sheffield Shield.

Khawaja claims he was “absolutely nailed" by Healy at the time and that he had implied "I was only worried about myself and not giving back."

Asked for his thoughts on the extract on Thursday morning, Healy said: “I didn’t know he was going to the Grand Prix and neither did his team.

“He didn’t even tell the team why he wasn’t playing. I sussed it out with all sorts of medicos in our dressing room and the head of our high performance and they denied the injury.

“They tested him structurally and his functionality and they said there is no hammy (hamstring injury) you are right to play. He did not say that in his book.

“Then they said 'Let’s get it scanned this afternoon' and he refused to get it scanned.

“That’s what I was going on and it was a shame he does not support his team better than that.”
