All-Time Arrested XI in Cricket History

9. Sandeep Lamichhane

The Nepalese legspinner was a sensation when he burst on to the scene. The 23-year-old has had a stellar career, picking up 210 international wickets from 103 appearances. He has represented several franchises across the world and played for the Delhi Capitals from 2018-2020.

In a complaint filed in September 2022, the young cricketer was accused of raping a minor in August 2021 in a Kathmandu hotel. An arrest warrant was issued against him but Lamichhane, who initially denied the allegations, was absconding and the authorities had to seek the assistance of Interpol to locate him. In early October, he returned to Nepal and surrendered.

After being remanded by a Kathmandu court for more than a couple of months, the legspinner was released on bail in January 2023. However, post a lengthy investigation and court trial the Nepalese cricketer was convicted of rape on December 29, 2023. The quantum of punishment was decided upon on January 10, 2024, serving him with a jail term of eight years along with a fine of Rs 3 lakh and Rs 2 lakh as compensation to the victim.
