Case outcome: Heather Knight

The outcome of the Cricket Regulator case against Heather Knight

The independent Cricket Discipline Commission (CDC) has issued its sanctions decision in relation to Heather Knight after she was charged over a non-recent photograph which appeared on social media.

Ms Knight admitted a breach of ECB Directive 3.3 which stated at the time of the offence in 2012*: “No such person may conduct himself in a manner or do any act or omission which may be prejudicial to the interests of cricket or which may bring the game of cricket or any Cricketer or group of Cricketers into disrepute.”

CDC adjudicator Tim O’Gorman issued Ms Knight with a reprimand and a £1,000 fine, which is suspended for two years.

The full judgment is available here.

*The wording of the Directive was updated in 2016 to: “No Participant may conduct themself in a manner or do any act or omission at any time which may be prejudicial to the interests of cricket or which may bring the ECB, the game of cricket or any Cricketer or group of Cricketers into disrepute.”
