A professional coach has been suspended from being involved in the game of cricket for a period of six months, following a Cricket Discipline Commission (CDC) decision in relation to a breach of Professional Conduct Regulation 3.3.
The charge related to the inappropriate conduct of the coach towards players whilst on a pre-season tour.
The CDC has ordered publication of its decision in a redacted form to remove the identifying features of those involved, in order to ensure that victims or potentially vulnerable witnesses cannot be identified.
Interim Director of The Cricket Regulator Dave Lewis said: "The Cricket Regulator seeks to protect all participants from inappropriate sexual behaviour, particularly when perpetrated by those in a position of power or trust. The Regulator recognises the importance of participants feeling empowered to report these matters and will always seek to protect the identities of victims and vulnerable witnesses.
"We encourage anyone who has seen or experienced any such misconduct to report these matters to the Cricket Regulator via integrity@cricketregulator.co.uk or safeguarding@cricketregulator.co.uk.”
