Best XI of the most selfish cricketers

6. Hansie Cronje

Hansie Cronje has to be in the list of for not only choosing his selfish monetary gains ahead of the reputation of his country and this beautiful game but also luring young cricketers like Henry Williams into underperforming.

Cronje, referred to as one of the greatest captains that South African cricket has ever produced had his reputation ripped to tatters when it came to light that his love for the hard-cash and leather jackets may have trumped his unrelenting passion and penchant for the game. The former South African captain was caught when Delhi Police while trying to tap the calls of the under-world tapped one of the calls of Hansie Cronje and a bookmaker.

Cronje, who initially refuted all the claims, finally accepted his misdemeanors in front of the Kings Commission- a unit formed by the South African Cricket Board. Cronje was banned for life for bringing the game into disrepute. But, unfortunately, his life ended just three years later in a tragic plane crash in 2003.
