Travers ‘Candyman’ Beynon has weighed in on the ball tampering scandal that has rocked world cricket with a racy Instagram post featuring three of his lovers.
Cameron Bancroft was sensationally caught on camera on Saturday stuffing a yellow piece of sticky tape down his pants, exposing Australia’s attempt to cheat against South Africa in Cape Town.
In an apparent dig at the under-siege Australian side, Beynon posed in cricket whites alongside three women, who stood naked barring small pieces of yellow tape.
