Former Australia leg-spinner Stuart MacGill has broken his silence on his alleged kidnapping and assault, saying he had “done nothing wrong” and the ordeal had taken a major toll on his family.

The 50-year-old was allegedly abducted near his home in Sydney on April 14 and taken to another part of the city where he was beaten and threatened with a gun. He was freed an hour after his capture and no ransom was paid for his release.

New South Wales state police charged four men over the incident, including the brother of MacGill’s partner Maria O’Meagher. MacGill waited five days to report the incident, but police said he was “purely” a victim. “If people choose to think something contrary to what has been presented by both myself and the police, then that’s up to them,” MacGill told Australian broadcaster Nine Network.
