Former Australia batter Usman Khawaja has shared an embarrassing dressing-room-style anecdote involving his ex-teammate Michael Beer in his recently released autobiography, Sabr. The left-hander recalled an awkward hotel-room incident in which the former Australian spinner accidentally soiled his bed during a dinner gathering. Khawaja explained that Beer had joined him for dinner while they watched television in his hotel room.

With limited seating space, Beer sat on the edge of Khawaja’s bed, while the latter chose to sit at the table. However, an unexpected incident interrupted their meal. Beer suddenly sneezed and immediately reacted with an exclamation, leaving Usman Khawaja confused about what had happened. The spinner then began apologising repeatedly.

“I’m so sorry, Uz. Really, mate, I’m so sorry,” Beer told him. Khawaja soon understood the reason behind his teammate’s embarrassment when Beer got off the bed. A large brown stain had been left on the sheets, with a similar mark visible on the spinner’s trousers.

“He proceeded to get up off my bed, with a big brown mark etched into my sheets. The same brown mark was on his pants. He’d sneezed and ‘sharted’ you know, farted but shitted. Right on my bed,” Khawaja wrote in the book.

Khawaja and Beer made their Test debuts together on January 3, 2011, during the fifth Ashes Test against England at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Beer went on to represent Australia in just one more Test, finishing his international career with three wickets.

Meanwhile, Khawaja’s autobiography has attracted considerable attention for its revelations about the 2018 ball-tampering scandal, widely known as Sandpapergate. The former opener claimed that knowledge of the plan to tamper with the ball extended beyond the three players who were eventually suspended.

Cricket Australia has shown no intention of reopening the investigation, but Khawaja’s comments have sparked fresh debate within Australian cricket. Current captain Pat Cummins addressed the controversy during a lengthy press conference on Friday, strongly rejecting the allegations and describing the claims as “nonsense”.
