  • In an unusual start, New Zealand's Lou Vincent remains the only cricketer from the nation to be involved in corruption charges.

    He was initially banned for three years for failing to report an approach by a bookie during the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL).

    However, he was later involved in fixing during a domestic game in England and was handed a life ban.

  • Danish Kaneria was one of the most promising spinners in Pakistan cricket.

    While everything was going smooth, he was charged for match irregularities with Essex in 2010, before being cleared.

    He was found guilty by the ECB disciplinary panel and was handed life ban, while the PCB stood by it.

    It was in October 2018, when Kaneria finally admitted to his 2009 spot-fixing offense.

    It was in 2000 when he admitted that he had willingly accepted bribes from bookmakers to provide inside information regarding the team and also fixed matches.

    Handed a life ban, he suffered an unfortunate fate as he perished in a plane crash in 2002.

    Following an investigation, he was found guilty, along with Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir, and was banned for 10 years.

    He was also jailed for 2.5 years by Southwark Crown Court, England, on account of 'conspiracy to cheat at gambling and to accept corrupt payments'.

  • Many remember Herschelle Gibbs for hitting six sixes in an over during the 2007 ICC World Cup.

    However, he admitted to having been involved with Cronje during the 2000 match-fixing scandal in India.

    Interestingly, despite initially agreeing to score below 20, he double-crossed and scored a 53-ball 74.

    As a result, he was banned for just six months.
