10 cricketers who have got into trouble due to alcohol

#10 Liam Plunkett

Plunkett was banned twice for his drinking habits

Liam Plunkett’s penchant for speed as a fast bowler is well known, but the England cricketer has also made the headlines for booze-infused incidents behind the wheel.

The 30-year-old has received two drink-driving bans in the past, with the latest coming in August 2012, five years after his first. The second ban came after he was stopped in the middle of the night in Durham, where he was found to be twice over the legal limit.

Plunkett has redeemed himself admirably since then though, finding his way back into the Test side briefly in 2014. He also played two matches in England’s thrilling ODI series with New Zealand in June this year.
