Book description
Caught Out exposes a staggering catalogue of revelations about the
way international cricket is being contaminated by crooked players,
ruthless gamblers and bent officials. It brings together appalling
scandals involving the biggest names in the sport who have
deliberately cheated, often under enormous pressure from gambling
gangs who threaten serious physical harm and even abduction if their
orders are not carried out. These riveting revelations will shock and
disgust all those who play cricket honestly at every level whether it
is at school, a local club, county level, or at the top in the
international arena. Icons are named and shamed in a series of
disclosures that zoom in on match-fixing, spot-fixing, cocaine
smuggling, chilling death threats, kidnapping, ferocious betting, and
high-class prostitutes paraded as additional rewards for players who
cheat for illegal bookmakers. A string of amazing exposes will grip
and alarm anyone, whether close to cricket or not; even if only having
a modicum of interest in the integrity of those who compete and
officiate in sport. Full of revelatory details this book sheds light
on the scandals in cricket that seem to capture the headlines whenever
there's a key international fixture.
