All-Time Arrested XI in Cricket History
These players hit the headlines for getting apprehended and going behind bars.
3. Nasir Jamshed
Nasir Jamshed is one name that is remembered by Pakistan cricket team supporters when they recall their team’s notable ODI series victory in India in 2012-13. In the three-match ODI series, the left-handed batter had notched up 241 runs with a couple of impressive tons. For his extraordinary batting efforts, he also received the Player of the Series award.
However, following that incredible series against India, Jamshed’s form started declining and he also got ruled out of the team due to his consistent unsuccess. In 2017, Britain’s National Crime Agency arrested him for taking part in spot-fixing. During the 2017 edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL), he encouraged other players to fix the match between Islamabad United and Peshawar Zalmi.
In February 2020, the Manchester Crown Court handed him the punishment to serve 17 months in jail for defiling the sanctity of the sport. Earlier, he also got banned for a period of 10 years by an anti-corruption tribunal for taking part in the scandal.
