What would be ur team of "unfortunate" players(whose career ended early than expected due to some controversy)

Question

11 players!

let me give few hintful reasons- ICL, quota system, injuries etc.

Answer 1

The Obvious names are

Mohd Azharuddin (stranded on 99 test matches)

Hansie Cronje

Ajay Jadeja

Saleem Malik

(All due to Match fixing)

There was another budding cricketer, who never played international cricket again - Henry Williams of South Africa, He & Gibbs was involved in fixing one match, but Williams never played International cricket, while Gibbs is still active.

Mark Vermeulen - (charges of torching Zimababwe Cricket Academy, and later cleared on mental grounds)

Marvan Atappatu (miffs with BCCSL)

Vinod Kambli  (problems with short pitched deliveries & displinary issue)

Nari Contractor (Head Injury caused by Charlie Griffith's bowling - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nari_Contra... )

Stuart Law (played one test in place of Mark Waugh, & was dropped when he returned)

Andy Ganteaume (selected because of injury to several players, scored 112 in the only innings played, and found no place when they returned, his slow batting was another reason)

Archie Jackson (Death)

Ben Hollioke (Death)

Shane Bond could be another chapter (ICL)

Jack MacBryan (drafted in as an opener, but only match he played washed off, never batted, never bowled, never got another chance, England had too many openers then - http://content-ind.cricinfo.com/england/... )

another name is John Tracois, he played his first match for South Africa in 1970, and made 3 appearances for South Africa. South Africa were banned after this 'cos of the apartheid regime. But when Zimbabwe was elevated to test status, he played for Zimbabwe after a gap of 22 years & 222 days. He was 45 then. He played 4 tests for Zimbabwe & stopped playing cricket because of his business commitments.
