Yes, cricketers nowadays are turning out to be quite rich courtesy the franchises like IPL, PSL, and BigBash etc. There is a lot of Business and Marketing associated with the game now which has made the sport global and hence a lot of money is involved. It is now a guarantee that once you have played International Cricket, there is a strong case that you would have a sound financial future.

But when we talk about a few years ago, just retiring from international cricket did not mean that one could survive with the earnings made during the career. There have been some instances where some players have hit poverty due to their bad habits like match-fixing etc. Players have misused their wealth and also turned bankrupt due to different reasons.

Here is the List of 5 Cricketers who have Turned from Rich to Poor Cricketers in the World:

(Photo Source: Stu Forster /Allsport)</figcaption>

The tall off-spin bowler from <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/category/teams/pakistan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Pakistan</a>, Arshad Khan made his debut in the 1997-98 series against the Windies. He played nine Tests and 58 ODIs till 2006 for his country. He has also played for Lahore Badshahs in the Indian Cricket League. Arshad’s best bowling performance came against the arch-rivals India in 2005, when he got 4 wickets for 33 runs at Kochi.

According to Khaleej Times, Arshad Khan now resides in Sydney, Australia and drives Uber Taxi over there. This shows the pitiable conditions of the former retired cricketers especially in a troubled country like Pakistan. After playing for his country, one would’ve expected him to be wealthier financially, but the former cricketer is struggling hard in a foreign country to make for his living.

(Photo by Paul Gilham/Getty Images)</figcaption>

The Australia born England Cricketer was once considered as a great all-rounder for the English cricket team. He was also appointed as the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/category/teams/england/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">England</a> Skipper in ODIs for a short duration. He is the elder brother of Ben Hollioake who died in 2002 in a car accident. Adam last played representative cricket in 2007 and went on to pursue his family business in Australia. In late 2008 during the recession, the financial position of his company weakened and by 2011 he was declared as bankrupt.

After that, Hollioake turned into Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) to earn his bread and is doing a decent job over there. He is known for his mental toughness. This is an example where destiny can take you from one place to another. From being a successful cricketer to a bankrupt and then bouncing back to be a pro in MMA, Adam has suffered a lot and is an inspiration for others.

(Photo by Sandra Mu/Getty Images)</figcaption>

Matthew Sinclair is most remembered for scoring a double ton in his debut Test for <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/category/teams/new-zealand/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">New Zealand</a> which is an incredible feat to achieve. He moved to New Zealand from Australia with his mother after losing his father at the age of 4. He retired from international cricket in 2013 and was jobless for some time. The Financial woes hit his married life as well.

The fact that he did not complete his studies made matters worse. He is currently working as a real estate salesperson in Napier and is struggling to survive. He was once a darling of the Kiwi team when he scored a magnificent double hundred in his Test debut. He opened the innings in both ODI and Test and had moderate success. This instance definitely tells us that nothing is permanent. We need to have back up plans for our respective careers.

(Photo by Ross Setford/Getty Images)</figcaption>

The Kiwi all-rounder, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/chris-cairns-returns-mccullums-fire-fire/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Chris Cairns</a>, was once considered to be one of the best all-rounders for New Zealand after Sir Richard Hadlee. He was a powerful hitter of the cricket ball and had a deceptive slower delivery. He was a heartthrob among women and was famous for his muscular physique and curly hair.

In 2010, Chris worked in Dubai as a Diamond merchant. He had won a significant sum in a case against former ICL chairman Lalit Modi in 2012. However, the tide turned against him in 2013 when the match-fixing allegations surfaced again and it was revealed that he was in the eyes of the authorities. The costs of legal proceedings started hitting his family life and as a result, he started cleaning bus shelters in New Zealand in order to meet his financial needs.

As an all-rounder, he has nine international centuries and around 420 wickets in his career. Cairns was instrumental in NZ winning the ICC Knock out trophy in 2000 in Nairobi, Kenya with his cracking ton in the finals against India.

Many of us would not be knowing this Gentleman. He was the first Test wicket-keeper ever to play for India. He had donned the gloves in 1932 against England at Lord’s which was India’s debut Test. He played a couple of matches in the format for India.

There are some reports which suggest that he spent his last days as a beggar on the Bombay – Pune Highway. While, some sources have revealed that he was a watchman in a sugar mill in Pune during his last days. It is a pity that a person who represented his country for its first ever Test match ended up as a beggar just before his demise.
