New Zealand's star all-rounder Chris Cairns driving truck and cleaning bus shelters to sustain family

Former star all rounder of the New Zealand cricket team, Chris Cairns is driving a truck to make ends meet and support his family. The 44 year old cricketer, who for many, would be among the best the Kiwis produced in cricket, drives a truck for $17 an hour, and cleans bus shelters, international media reports showed.

Cairns has reportedly taken up a job with Auckland Council which operates trucks that are used for water blasting bus stations.

Cairns had been alleged for match fixing, after New Zealand test batsman Lou Vincent named him as Mister X, the former star player that lured Vincent into match fixing with promises of substantial cash rewards. Vincent has since admitted manipulating the outcome of matches in 12 countries and has received 11 life bans from cricket for those activities. 

Mid day report quoted another former player, Dion Nash who said he supported Cairns and was by his side for the fixing issue. Nash said Cairns was being bold and was working hard to support his family in their tough times.
