Cricketing great Stuart MacGill will stand trial later this year as he battles allegations he was involved in a large-scale cocaine deal.
MacGill faced Sydney’s Downing Centre District Court on Friday where he formally entered a not guilty plea to one count of taking part in the supply of a large commercial quantity of a prohibited drug over his alleged role in a $330,000 cocaine deal.
He will now face trial in November this year, with the hearing expected to last five to seven days.
The cult leg spinner has remained on bail since his arrest in September last year.
According to court documents, Mr MacGill is alleged to have taken part in the supply of a kilogram of cocaine at Neutral Bay, on Sydney’s lower north shore, between April 1 and April 14 in 2021.
