12 Controversial cricketers – The headline hoggers: Cricket and controversies have always had a hand and glove relationship. Almost all the formats of the game, be it, Tests, ODIs, World Cups, Big Bash League or the IPL, all of these have had its own share of media publicity. The highlight of this media glare has been the cricketers who have amused the fans not only with their play but also with their idiosyncrasies both on and off the field.

Here is a list of 12 Controversial cricketers – The headline hoggers:

1. Andrew Symonds:

Andrew Symonds career has always tagged along with itself a bundle of controversies which got him entangled into a plethora of trouble. He was suspended in 2008, as he found it amusing to go out fishing rather than attend the Aussie team’s meet just a day prior to the match. Then in the same year he was involved in the Monkeygate with Harbhajan Singh. Owing to all this, he was dropped from the Ashes squad in 2009. Things went further downhill for him when he was reprimanded and sent back to Australia during the ongoing T20 World cup because of his indecent drinking incident. Thus just like his wacky hair his cricketing career also had its own peculiar moments but he surely made up for all this with his brilliant all-rounder performance.
