He is a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-fast bowler who until September 2010 played for Essex. In January 2012, he became the first English cricketer to be convicted of spot-fixing, after admitting accepting £6,000 in exchange for bowling an over that was supposed to concede 12 runs.[1][2] Essex careerWestfield played for the first time for Essex in the 2005 County Championship against Durham.[3] He made one appearance in the Second XI Championship before the end of the season, and in 2006, played three matches as Essex finished third in Division Two of the 2006 County Championship. In May 2010 he was arrested by Essex police in connection with "match irregularities" in the 2009 domestic season, along with team-mate Danish Kaneria. The investigations were believed to focus on a NatWest Pro40 match in September 2009 against Durham, which Essex won.[4] From 2006 onward, Westfield was an occasional player in the Essex side. During the 2010 County Championship, Westfield was released by Essex after struggling to find a regular place in the first team.[5] Westfield has played as an upper-middle order batsman and as a tail-ender. He held a first-class bowling average of 37.81 by the time of his release by Essex.[6] Spot-fixing chargesFollowing his arrest on suspicion of a spot-fixing irregularity, it was announced on 15 September 2010 by the Crown Prosecution Service, that Westfield was to be formally charged with conspiracy to defraud over claims he deliberately bowled wides as part of a spot-fixing scam.[7] Antony Swift, of the Crown Prosecution Service, said Westfield would appear at City of London Magistrates' on 23 September 2010.[8] His Essex teammate Danish Kaneria was released without charge following the investigation.[9] Westfield was convicted on 12 January 2012[1] and was given a four-month prison sentence.[10] On 22 June 2012, Kaneria was banned for life from playing cricket in England and Wales by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), for his involvement in the scandal.[11] In February 2016, Westfield was given special dispensation by the ECB to allow him to play in 2nd XI matches and minor counties cricket.[12] He later played three MCCA Knockout Trophy matches for Suffolk during the early part of the 2016 season.[13] In October 2018, Kaneria admitted to his involvement in 2009 spot-fixing scandal.[14] References1. ^1 {{cite news| url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-essex-16527008 | work=BBC News | title=Ex-Essex cricketer Mervyn Westfield admits spot betting charge | date=12 January 2012}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/england/content/story/549087.html|title=Westfield pleads guilty to spot-fixing|date=12 January 2012|website=Cricinfo|accessdate=11 November 2018}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/82/82515.html|title=Durham v Essex scorecard|website=Cricketarchive.com|accessdate=11 November 2018}} 4. ^Kaneria and Westfield arrested in fraud probe, retrieved 16 May 2010 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.cricinfo.com/countycricket2010/content/story/473507.html|title=Mervyn Westfield released by Essex|website=Cricinfo.com|accessdate=11 November 2018}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/78/78936/f_Bowling_by_Team.html|title=Bowling averages|website=Cricketarchive.com|accessdate=11 November 2018}} 7. ^{{Cite web | url = http://www.eadt.co.uk/news/cricketer_charged_with_fraud_following_match_1_651235 | title = Cricketer charged with fraud following match| first=James|last=Hore|work= East Anglian Daily Times| date= 16 September 2010| accessdate=16 September 2010}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.cricinfo.com/england/content/story/477352.html|title=Mervyn Westfield charged with fraud|website=Cricinfo.com|accessdate=11 November 2018}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/476232.html|title=Kaneria released without charge in spot-fixing investigation|website=Cricinfo.com|accessdate=11 November 2018}} 10. ^{{cite news|title=Mervyn Westfield jailed for four months over cricket scam|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-essex-17073699|work=BBC News|accessdate=4 June 2012|date=17 February 2012}} 11. ^{{cite news| url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/top-stories/Danish-Kaneria-to-appeal-lifetime-ban/articleshow/14347383.cms | title=Danish Kaneria to appeal lifetime ban|newspaper=The Times of India | date=23 June 2012|accessdate=23 June 2012}} 12. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/england/content/story/973619.html |title=Westfield allowed to play 2nd XI cricket |accessdate=18 February 2016|work=ESPN Cricinfo}} 13. ^{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Players/78/78936/Minor_Counties_Trophy_Matches.html|title=Minor Counties Trophy Matches played by Mervyn Westfield|website=Cricketarchive|accessdate=18 December 2018}} 14. ^{{cite news | url=https://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/104611/danish-kaneria-finally-admits-to-his-involvement-in-2009-spot-fixing-scandal-pakistan-cricket-team|title=Kaneria finally admits to his involvement in 2009 spot-fixing scandal| website=Cricbuzz.com| date=18 October 2018}} External links
