I was dragged, sucked into that fixing world in India, recalls Lou Vincent

Former New Zealand batter Lou Vincent recounted his tale of falling from grace following his involvement in match-fixing during his time at the now defunct Indian Cricket League (ICL) in the late 2000s, saying that the incident made him a pariah both professionally and personally, and eventually cost him his relationship with his daughters.

I was dragged, sucked into that fixing world in India, recalls Lou Vincent

Vincent, who represented New Zealand in 23 Tests and 108 ODIs, was handed 11 life bans by the England and Wales Cricket Board in 2014 for match-fixing. Last year, the ban was revised allowing him to be involved in domestic cricket.

The 46-year-old had started his career with a Test hundred on debut against the mighty Australian side of the 2000s. As he fought depression and got involved in match-fixing, his promising international career came to a premature end at the age of 29.

In an interview with 'The Telegraph', Vincent opened up on the struggles after being exiled from the sport that subsequently led to loss of respect in the cricketing world, and his separation from his wife, and his daughters.
