Nine-Month Suspension for Cricket Coach Over Sexual Harassment Allegations

The International Cricket Discipline Panel has suspended a former county cricket coach for nine months due to instances of sexual misconduct. The coach admitted to breaching professional conduct rules on five occasions. These involved sending explicit images to two junior female colleagues and attempting to kiss one in a changing room. The coach was previously terminated from his position because of these actions. The ICDP decided against releasing the coach’s name, citing health-related concerns and the potential for adverse effects if his identity was revealed. The suspension comprises six months served retroactively, and three months suspended for a period of twelve months.
