Cricket is a gentlemen’s game and while playing it, players are required to display discipline, integrity, and commitment on the field and off of it. However, in the history of this beautiful sport, there have been a few players who didn’t maintain these qualities and landed in massive trouble. Some of them also finished their careers for tarnishing the image of the sport.

A few players didn’t do anything wrong while playing on the field but off the field, they committed such crimes that grabbed a lot of attention. Within the last one and a half years, some cricketers hit the headlines for getting arrested for their severe crimes. It’s time to talk about their infamous acts along with the notorious deeds of a few other cricketers as well.

Here is the arrested XI of all-time

1. Danushka Gunathilaka

Danushka Gunathilaka has played 101 international matches for Sri Lanka since his debut in 2015. During the T20 World Cup 2022, his career took an ugly turn when a woman he met online accused him of sexual assault. Following the allegation, the Sydney police arrested him on November 6, 2022.

After playing a couple of first-round matches, he got ruled out of the tournament due to an injury. However, he didn’t leave the Sri Lanka camp despite the injury. Following the arrest, he tried to come out on bail but his request got denied. After spending 11 days behind bars, his application got accepted and he succeeded in coming out on a few conditions.

Since then, the 32-year-old cricketer hasn’t returned to Sri Lanka as the case is still pending against him. In May 2023, the public prosecutor dropped three of four sexual charges against him. Currently, he is suspended from all forms of the sport due to the serious allegation.
