Smokin’ Hot (Marijuana, Cocaine and more) Cricketers

Cricketers are the heroes without the sword. People follow them, love them and idolize them. But fame and recognition don’t come free. To handle the immense on-field pressure and jam-packed schedule, cricketers seek help from different forms of recreation. Some get addicted to music, some get addicted to socialisation, and some to SMOKING!

Smokin’ Hot (Marijuana, Cocaine and more) Cricketers

Here is a list of top five cricketers who got involved in smoking prominently –

CHRIS GAYLE :

Cricketers

 

This bad boy of West Indian cricket is known for his happy-go-lucky nature. Be it dancing to Gangnam Style on the field to walking the ramp, this party animal is always in news. Most of the times spotted surrounded by a bevvy of beautiful girls, this dashing opener is also somewhat addicted to smoking and alcohol. It is so many times that he has been publicly spotted smoking that he now a marked smoker in the cricketing fraternity. He is among the cricketers who have created a lot of controversy due to his habits.

IAN BOTHAM :

 

This stalwart English player, arguably one of the best the country has ever produced, also appears frequently in the news section for the rights and for the wrongs as well. Long after leaving professional cricket, his name got into the news as explicit content got posted from his account on a microblogging site. Back in the days when he was at the peak of his career, he was suspended for two months by the England and Wales Cricket Board for smoking cannabis. The player retrieved soon, though.

SHANE WARNE: 

 

He is the casanova of the Aussie team, he is the wild leg-break maestro who has THAT attitude, yes, we are talking about Shane Warne. With too many controversies regarding his affairs, he got involved in smoking and drugs as well. The spinner got accused of consuming a certain drug just prior to the 2003 world cup. Later on, he was also suspected to smoke Marijuana which he denied. Rumour has it that he has been using Advanced Hair’s baldness cures since 2004 along with his regular teeth whitening sessions to counter the side effects of smoking a whole packet of cigarette a day. He is among the cricketers who have created a lot of controversy due to his habits.

ED GIDDINS:

This former English player, having played in 4 test matches representing his country and many more in counties like Sussex, Warwickshire, Surrey and Hampshire to his career, turned to a Poker analyst and is working for Sky Poker. The player got banned for 18 months by Sussex after testing positive for cocaine. His cricketing career ended very soon and he moved on to poker afterwards.

DAVID MURRAY:

 

The son of Windies cricketing legend Sir Everton Weekes, the one to reach 1000 runs the fastest in Test cricket, was a fantastic keeper himself who could play more than the 19 tests and 10 ODIs that he played. At the early age of 12, he got addicted to cigarettes, which went on to getting addicted to marijuana and cocaine. He was soon replaced by Jeff Dujon, after which he decided to go on a rebel tour to South Africa. This tour cost him a lifetime ban. He was later found peddling drugs for his living. He is among the cricketers who have created a lot of controversy due to his habits.

The life of a sportsman is hard with challenges and obstacles. But seeing how some real talents lost their way to the addiction, it seems like it’s better to find rejoice in other ways of recreation.
