All-rounder Shahid Afridi was caught on camera biting the ball twice in an ODI against Australia in Perth in 2010. Pakistan lost by two wickets and Afridi was banned for two ODIs.

The swashbuckling batsman pleaded guilty to the charge after he was summoned by match referee Ranjan Madugalle.

He had later also said that all teams in the world tamper the world, but "my methods were wrong, I am embarrassed, I shouldn't have done it. I just wanted to win us a game but this was the wrong way to do it."
