England cricketers hit with disrepute charge
Print Edition
BEN Stokes and Alex Hales have been charged with bringing the game into disrepute by the England and Wales Cricket Board following a late-night street brawl last year.
The independent Cricket Discipline Commission (CDC) was tasked with leading an internal investigation into the incident outside a nightclub in Bristol, southwest England, which took place in September 2017.
Each player has been charged with two counts of breaching ECB directive 3.3, which states: “No participant may conduct themself in a manner or do any act or omission at any time which may be prejudicial to the interests of cricket or which may bring the ECB, the game of cricket or any cricketer or group of cricketers into disrepute.”
Stokes denied a charge of affray and was cleared following a seven-day trial last month. His teammate, Hales, was not charged. Stokes, whose co-defendant Ryan Ali was also found not guilty, had been charged following the fight hours after England played the West Indies in a one-day international in Bristol.
The disciplinary panel hearing will be held in London on December 5 and December 7. The CDC has a wide range of penalties open to it including issuing a caution, reprimand, a fine or suspension. The hearing, which will be held in private and chaired by former first-class cricketer Tim O’Gorman, will take place between England’s two winter tours.
