The ECB Cricket Discipline Commission have said Essex ‘failed to uphold the standards expected’ and have fined the club £50,000 after remarks made by the former chair in 2017
The CDC panel, headed by Ricky Needham, alongside Amrisha Parathalingam and Mark Milliken-Smith QC, announced the sanction on Thursday. The £50,000 fine, which took into account the club’s subsequent apology and “restatement of its commitment against discrimination”, includes £15,000 suspended for two years.
