5 instances of cricketers being charged with grave crimes

#4 Rubel Hossain

England v Bangladesh - 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup — Rubel Hossain's spell was crucial in Bangladesh's famous win over England in the 2015 World Cup.

The Bangladeshi fast bowler was one of the stars for Bangladesh during their memorable 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup campaign. However, just few days before the World Cup, Rubel Hossain was arrested on rape charges.

The complainant was a 19 year-old girl name Naznin Akhter Happy. She also lodged a complaint of false promise of marriage against the cricketer. Rubel was put behind bars but was later released as a tournament of national significance (ICC Cricket World Cup) was approaching and he was to participate in it. He was a star in Bangladesh’s famous victory over England at Adelaide with figures of 4/53, which secured them their maiden quarter-final berth in the World Cup history.
