"I don't know if I'll ever walk again and I have made my peace with that," Cairns told the Daily Telegraph. Cairns played 62 tests, 215 one-day internationals and two Twenty20 matches for New Zealand between 1989-2006. After retiring from international cricket he was accused of involvement in match-fixing in India while captaining the Chandigarh Lions in the defunct Indian Cricket League in 2008.
