An independent panel of the Cricket Discipline Commission will hear the case against Essex CCC.
A county cricket club has been charged by the sport's watchdog for failing to tackle "systemic” racist language and conduct at the club between 2001 and 2010.
It comes after a previous independent report found racist and discriminatory behaviour at the club was "entirely normalised and tolerated". “It is alleged by the Cricket Regulator that there was systemic use of racist and/or discriminatory language and/or conduct at Essex, during the period between 2001 and 2010, which Essex failed to address.Essex said they had fully co-operated with the Cricket Regulator and would continue to do so, and that they intend to “participate willingly” with the Cricket Discipline Commission which will hear the case.
“While the individuals are not named to align with the anonymised report, Essex CCC takes allegations of racism extremely seriously and the measures are a further commitment to creating an inclusive and welcoming club for everyone,” a statement from Essex at the time said.
