Stuart Gill of Australia has been convicted in the cocaine case.

Sydney Australian cricket is once again under discussion for wrong reasons. Former cricketer Stuart McGill has been convicted in the case of cocaine deal. However, McGil of Australia has also got some relief. He is not considered a partner in large -scale drugs supply. 54 -year -old McGil has got a ‘clean chit’ on this charge.

Former leg -spinner Stuart McGill was accused in the case of selling one kg of cocaine in April 2021. It was priced at 3.30 lakh Australian dollars (about 1.80 crores). The case was heard in Sydney District Court. The jury considered McGill involved in the incident but was not considered a member of a gang, who smuggles drugs on a large scale. According to the Australian media report, McGill stood up at the time of the verdict. He did not have much expressions on his face. The punishment in this case will be heard after 8 weeks.

The court told the court by the government lawyer that McGil introduced his regular drug merchant to his close relative Marino Sotiropolos in the restaurant in Sydney. On this, McGil said that he was not aware of the deal. Then the government lawyer said that the deal was not possible without their participation.

Stuart McGill came into the limelight a year ago in a strange case of kidnapping. McGil then claimed that he was kidnapped. However, two brothers who kidnapped McGill claimed that the former cricketer came with him on his own will. There was talk of smuggling of drugs in this case.

Let us know that Stuart McGill, who plays for Australia in the 1990s, is counted among the best leg spinners in the world. However, due to Shane Warne’s presence in the team, this player did not get much opportunities. Despite this, McGill managed to play 44 Tests and 3 ODIs. Stuart McGill took 208 wickets in 44 Tests. He has 6 wickets in ODI format.
