Former Pakistan spin bowler Saqlain Mushtaq has told how he hid his wife in his hotel room cupboard the day before the 1999 World Cup final in London.
Mushtaq explained the team were barred from taking their wives with them, but at the same time, they would be accused of going out with other women.
So he decided to smuggle his wife onto the tour and when the management did a spot-check on his hotel room the night before the finals, he had to hide her in the cupboard.
Pakistan lost the 1999 Wold Cup final against Australia by eight wickets at Lord's but at least the bowler was faithful to his wife!.
