Controversial Australian all-rounder Andrew Symonds was today unveils as the latest contestant in the Indian television version of the hit certainty show "Big Brother".
The 36-year-old big hitter, in and out of the national side due to corrective problems, will become the first international cricketer to enter the "Bigg Boss" house, the show's promoters said in an emailed statement.
Symonds, a household name in cricket-mad India throughout his involvement in the short-format Indian Premier League, said he saw the show as a challenge, although he admit he had not seen any of the previous episode.
"India has been good to me and I have been travelling to India for over 20 years... I am hoping to have a lot of fun inside the house and learn more about the Indian society that I find very charming," he said.
"I am also looking at this as a chance to glass case the Australian culture which involves fun-filled activities like barbecue, throwing people into the pool and being totally at peace."
Symonds, dub the bad boy of Australian cricket for his drinking binges, was at the centre of a race row with India's Harbhajan Singh, whom he accused of calling him a "monkey" during the irritable second Test in Sydney in 2008.
The pair these years turned out for Mumbai Indians in the Twenty20 IPL and insists the much-publicized spat is behind them.
Previous overseas celebrity on "Bigg Boss" include the former "Baywatch" star Pamela Anderson and Jade Goody, who shot to fame in the British version of the show and was on the India format when she found she had terminal cancer.
One contentious guest this year is a Canadian porn star Sunny Leone, who has starred in films like "Not Charlie's Angels XXX" and "The Virginity Hit".
