NEW DELHI: Former Australian Test cricket star Stuart MacGill has been arrested and charged in connection with an alleged commercial-scale cocaine deal, according to authorities. The retired leg-spinner came under the scrutiny of detectives in April 2021 when he was reportedly kidnapped by a group of armed individuals outside his residence in affluent northern Sydney.
The incident, which shocked the cricketing world, saw the 52-year-old restaurateur being forcibly taken, assaulted, threatened, and subsequently left stranded. Speaking about the ordeal, MacGill revealed, "They stripped me naked, beat me up, threatened me, and then just dumped me."
