Chris Lewis is a former English Cricketer who played 32 Test and 53 ODI for England. Chris picked 93 Test wickets for England which included 3 five wickets haul. Chris was often regarded as the next Ian Botham, but he never lived up to his potential which soon resulted in his career drifting apart. Chris took 66 ODI wickets at a bowling average of 29.42. In 1993, Chris scored his only century against India at Chennai but after that innings, he failed to reproduce such performances again. On December 2008, Chris Lewis was arrested for smuggling 3.37 kilograms of liquid cocaine which turned out to be a huge shock for the entire England Cricket Team. According to the reports, Chris tried to smuggle cocaine worth £140,000 into the UK by hiding it in fruit juice tins in his cricket bags. Chris was sentenced to a 13-year imprisonment and was released after 6 years in June 2014.
