The News Minute| September 19, 2014| 12.15 pm ISTNew Zealand’s former cricketing all-rounder Chris Cairns is out on the streets, driving trucks and cleaning bus shelters to support his family amidst investigations against him for alleged match-fixing charges. Increasing legal expenses in efforts to clear his name in the ongoing investigation have forced the cricketer to take up a job that involves him driving a truck that moves around water-blasting shelters in Auckland, said NDTV. The job earns Cairns $17 an hour, said the report. Cairns has himself admitted that he was the person that his former teammate Lou Vincent had refereed to as ‘Player X’ as the person who introduced him to the world of match-fixing, said Yahoo. However, Cairns said that the allegations were ‘absurd’. Cairns’ best friend Dion Nash was quoted in The New Zealand Herald, as saying: "He's trying really hard and supporting his family the best way he can. He's not moping around, he's showing guts and doing hard work by cleaning bus shelters. All I can do is support him, but as a friend it is really hard to watch his name being dragged through the mud with no conclusion in sight."
