Reacting to Khawaja's claims , Broad took aim at Lehmann, who was Australia's head coach during the South Africa tour, questioning how he could have been unaware of the ball-tampering incident. "Darren Lehmann surely knew all about it," Broad said on Track Radio, as quoted by Fox Sports. "And if he did not, he should not have been the coach at the time.

I think he has got away lightly … OK, he left his job a few months later, but he did not get any sanctions." Broad also recalled Lehmann's criticism of his son, former England pacer Stuart Broad, during the 2013 Ashes series, after the latter chose not to walk following an edge to the slips.
