Former Australia cricket team spinner Stuart MacGill on Friday avoided going to jail after being found guilty of involvement in a cocaine deal. For the offence, he was given a 22-month intensive corrections order and 495 hours of community service. The 54-year-old was found guilty two months ago but the hearing of his sentence was adjourned. While he was found guilty of involvement in a cocaine deal back in May, the ex-Australia star was cleared of participating in large-scale drug supply. A Sydney District Court jury had acquitted the former leg-spinner of facilitating a one-kg cocaine deal worth AUD 330,000 in April 2021. However, he was convicted of the charge of taking part in drug supply.
