A man who admitted attacking his wife with a cricket bat and forcing her to drink bleach has been jailed after a judge said the court was “misled” over a cricket contract.<\/p>\n

Mustafa Bashir, 34, was spared a custodial term in March after a judge heard he would lose out on a cricket contract with Leicestershire.<\/p>\n

Judge Richard Mansell QC, reviewing the sentence at Manchester Crown Court, said he was “fundamentally misled”.<\/p>\n

He sentenced Bashir to 18 months.<\/p>\n

Bashir, who has played cricket for Oldham and Bolton, denied telling his barrister at the last hearing that he was about to sign the contract with Leicestershire.<\/p>\n

The 34-year-old claimed he “wasn’t listening”, was “extremely emotional” and there were a “series of misunderstandings”.<\/p>\n

Judge Mansell rejected Bashir’s claims, saying: “You were clearly making a claim to court you had professional cricket contract.”<\/p>\n
