5 Cricketers who got ‘Honey-Trapped’

Cricket is a beautiful game that tests the wits and skills alike of a player. In leagues like the Indian T20 League or any other high-stakes tournament around the world, a good innings can turn a player from a normal person into a sensation overnight. Some people can handle fame better than others. While some people do not have the idea to deal with that much fame and adulation.

Cricketers on certain occasions have been alleged and exposed in certain scandals. Sometimes the cricketers end up using their power and influence and end up doing the wrong stuff and end up on the wrong side of things. And one such did not spare even the Pakistan captain Babar Azam, who was recently allegedly involved in a “sexting” scandal.

Here are five such instances:

1. Tim Paine 

Tim Paine came under the docks for sending unsolicited and explicit images to a female colleague at Cricket Tasmania. This happened in the year 2017. After the matter was investigated, Tim Paine relinquished Australian Test captaincy. The explicit messages were sent on the eve of the first Ashes Test in 2017 According to reports, the women and Paine shared a very intimate relationship and things also ended up becoming very coy between them.

The notable thing is that Paine tied the knot in 2016. According to the Sun Herald, the pair was messaging continuously before Paine sent a Text saying, “Will you want to taste my ***?? F*** me, I’m seriously hard.” Since Paine was a keeper the Women said “I thought we were resting hands”. “Can’t rest them when I’m this hard!! Need to ease the tension … Finish me off with those lips then (name deleted)”. He then sent an unsolicited “d*** pic” before asking the woman to “finish me off right now!!!” He replied. When the incident came to light Paine expressed deep regret about it.
