Top 5 instances of players being led into blunders by their captains

#2 Mohammad Amir (Captain: Salman Butt)

The youngster had to remain away from the game for 5 years

The left-arm fast bowler was the best find for Pakistan in bowling after Wasim Akram. Bowling with raw pace and beautiful swing, Amir was an integral part of many Pakistan victories.

His career started at a tender age of 17. He was destined to be the next bowling legend in Pakistan cricket.

However, the spot-fixing scandal in 2010 ruined his career completely. He was asked to bowl no-balls by his captain Salman Butt deliberately. At 17, Amir didn't know much difference between right and wrong.

Subsequently, he was banned from international cricket for 5 years. He made a return to international cricket in 2015.
