Tatooed Players XI
Apart from producing some wonderful moments on the field for their respective teams and mesmerising fans with their incredible skills, there are a host of international cricketers who have taken a keen interest in getting their bodies inked with various tattoos.
While some of these players have given a lot of thought on their tattoo by getting something meaningful and deep, there are a few of them who have gotten a tattoo which is more visually pleasing than meaningful.
In this article, we take a look at the tattooed players XI.
Note : This list is based on the player’s tattoos and not their playing ability, and includes current and former cricketers.
