All-Time Arrested XI in Cricket History
These players hit the headlines for getting apprehended and going behind bars.
5. Imran Khan (captain)
Imran Khan is one of the most revered figures in Pakistan due to his unprecedented contribution to the national cricket team. Under his sensational leadership, Pakistan pulled off their maiden and only ODI (One-Day International) World Cup title in 1992. Following his retirement from international cricket, Imran entered Pakistan’s politics.
In 1996, he floated his own party named Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). After struggling for 22 years in the political circuit, Imran became the Prime Minister of his country in 2018. After ruling the nation for almost four years, he got ousted in 2022 after failing to prove his majority in the no-confidence vote.
The former Pakistan prime minister got sentenced to three years in prison in August 2023, following an Islamabad court order in the Toshakhana case. According to Pakistan’s Geo News, Imran was arrested shortly after the court’s order. There are allegations on the 70-year-old that he intentionally hid details about the gifts he kept in Toshkhana, a treasure house for presents given to government officials by foreign officials.
