10 Active cricketers who have been involved in big controversies
These players faced bans either from their cricket board or from the ICC.
8. James Faulkner
James Faulkner used to be an important player for the Australian team a few years ago but he has not played top-level cricket for a long time now. He got involved in a big controversy in 2022 while playing Pakistan Super League with the Quetta Gladiators.
It all started from his tweet where he was seen showing disagreement about not getting paid. Yes, you read it right. He left PSL in between after not getting honoured with his contractual agreement. He wrote in his tweet that the officials of the franchise continued to lie to him throughout the tournament.
It was in the headlines that Faulkner reportedly threw his bat and helmet in the hotel after a heated discussion with a PCB official. However, the PCB and PSL franchise Quetta Gladiators issued a joint statement denying his allegations and stated that the Aussie will never be part of the PSL seasons in the future.
