Essex have been fined £100,000 - £50,000 of which is suspended for two years - following allegations of systemic and longstanding racism and discrimination within the club. The club have also been cautioned and reprimanded after admitting a charge in breach of Directive 3.3, 'in relation to the systemic use of racist and/or discriminatory language and/or conduct between 2001 and 2010.' The panel said it was unable to apply sporting sanctions such as points deductions.
'I welcome the action Essex has taken in recent years to address these issues and become a more inclusive club, and the commitment it has shown to make further progress. 'Over the past year, the whole game has responded positively to the action plan we set out in response to the Independent Commission for Equity in Cricket, and we will shortly update on the progress which has been made.
