The England women’s captain, Heather Knight, has apologised after she was reprimanded and given a suspended £1,000 fine for attending a fancy dress party in blackface in 2012.
Pictures of Knight at the party, an end-of-season event at a Kent cricket club with a “sports stars” theme, emerged recently on Facebook, leading to her being charged last month by the Cricket Regulator with bringing the game into disrepute.
