Jimmy Neesham has bat drilled for drugs by American customs officials

New Zealand cricketer Jimmy Neesham felt the wrath of some overzealous customs officials on Thursday when he handed his bat in for inspection and was given it back full of holes.

Neesham, travelling through America with his Caribbean Premier League side Guyana Amazon Warriors, tweeted a photo of the willow, complete with four holes drilled into it as officials apparently searched it for drugs.

"Imagine if your cricket gear went through America and they drilled holes in your bat to look for drugs..." he said.

Neesham, who has played four Tests and 11 one-day internationals for the Kiwis, had earlier scored nine runs for the Warriors in what was presumably his last innings with the bat.
