Fifteen English cricket players are prohibited to play for three years in England because of their rebel tour of South Africa

The rebel cricket tours were matches taking place in South Africa at a time when the country was banned from international cricket. Despite wide international condemnation, the tours continued to take place for years. After the 1982 English tour, fifteen players who took part in it received three year bans from professional cricket. The last rebel tour took place in 1990. The tour was cancelled midway following violent protests from the public and strong disapproval from the international community.
