Cricketers are role models and should abide a much responsible behaviour. Youngsters look at cricketers and not only learn from their cricketing prowess but also from  the way they behave on the field and off it. However, in the recent past we have seen some cricketers being involved in off-field controversies.

In this section, let us have a look at cricketers who sparked controversies due to drinking.

Monty Panesar is long out of favour from the England team but yet to announce his retirement. In 2013, he was fined by police after being caught urinating on nightclub bouncers in Brighton. Panesar was charged for being drunk and disorderly outside the Shooshh club.

“Sussex County Cricket Club can confirm that an incident took place involving Monty Panesar in the early hours of Monday August 5,” his county club said in a statement following his misconduct.

“The matter is under full investigation and the club will make no further comment at this stage.”

Panesar, however, apologised for the misbehaviour after the incident.
