Retired Australian cricketer Brett Lee is the latest scalp claimed in the Glenn McGrath hunting scandal.
Daily Mail Australia has published a photograph of Lee placing his hand on the carcass of a dead and bloodied animal on the back of a truck, next to McGrath and two boys.
Lee had his arm around the shoulders of one of the boys.
Both men smiled for the camera.
Lee's spokesman confirmed to the Daily Mail that "yes, that photo was taken on a farm in South Africa".
Lee and McGrath were known to enjoy hunting trips together when McGrath shared stories of his trips to Africa with Lee and another former cricketer, Jason Gillespie with the Sporting Shooters Association of Australia (SSAA) in 2006.
The Daily Mail reported McGrath has said Lee enjoyed hunting, whilst Mr Gillespie was an amateur with firearms. Together, they bonded over hunting.
McGrath also told the SSAA he enjoyed trophy hunting in the big safaris in Africa.
"I'd prefer to do the safari on foot, like they did in the old days and just take the camp with you, not driving around in 4WDs," he said.
"That to me would be perfect. It's not about the quantity of trophies; although quality is important, it's not everything. Just being out there in that environment would be amazing."
Fans have shunned and criticised former test cricketer on social media after photos of him posing with a gun next to dead African wildlife including buffalos, hyenas and an elephant were shared online.
Fairfax Media reported the photos that were originally published on South African gamepark, Chipitani Safaris' website, have been removed from the website.
Twitter users have called McGrath, who runs the McGrath Foundation, a breast cancer organisation named after his late wife Jane, who died from the disease, "sad" and "sick".
While McGrath's love for hunting was not a secret – he is a life member with the NSW branch of the SSAA – he has expressed his regret for his action.
In a note on Twitter, McGrath said he was going through an "extremely difficult" time in his life when the photos were taken, presumably referring to the death of his wife in 2008.
But fans were not convinced with his apology.
The Greens were also not impressed.
