Five players have been reprimanded by the ECB over historic racist social media posts, following a Cricket Discipline Commission (CDC) hearings.
Azeem Rafiq, Andrew Gale, Jack Brooks, Danni Wyatt and Eve Jones were found to have engaged in "racist and discriminatory conduct". All five admitted breaching ECB Directive 3.3 which states: "No such person may conduct themself 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."
Brooks, Jones and Wyatt also admitted a separate breach of Directive 3.4 which states: "Each Participant is bound by and must comply with the ECB Anti-Discrimination Code." Rafiq has previously apologised for making antisemitic comments on Facebook in 2011 as a 19-year-old and issued another apology following the CDC's adjudication.
