\nThe one time Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell scored a 100 in Test cricket, the match and he himself came under a cloud due to allegations in a TV sting operation that two Australian players were involved in spot-fixing.<\/p>\n
A sting operation and investigation into spot-fixing in cricket by TV channel Al Jazeera resulted in the allegation that Australian players were involved in spot-fixing during the 2017 Ranchi Test against India. No names were disclosed in the sting operation that was aired in May this year, but the shadow of suspicion fell on Maxwell because he was batting during the time the alleged spot-fixing took place, according to Al Jazeera.<\/p>\n
Maxwell has spoken about the \u201churt\u201d he felt due to the whole affair. \u201cI was shocked. I was a bit hurt by it as well,\u201d Maxwell said in a radio interview in Australia. \u201cTo have these allegations about your involvement in a game where you\u2019ve only got happy memories about it, great memories\u2026 I still remember the feeling after hugging Steve Smith after getting my maiden Test hundred.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTo have that tarnished by these allegations was pretty devastating and obviously there\u2019s absolutely no truth to it whatsoever,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was 100% unfair, to tarnish one of the best moments of my career was pretty brutal. The only thing they could have done worse was tarnish that World Cup win (in 2015). They\u2019re two of the best moments of my career. To say I\u2019d done anything untoward in that game, when I\u2019d just finally got back in the Test side \u2014 I\u2019d worked my absolute backside off \u2014 to say I\u2019d do anything to ruin that would be absolutely ridiculous.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
