The Independent Cricket Discipline Commission: The Independent Cricket Discipline Commission (CDC) has suspended former Worcestershire cricketer Alex Hepburn, from all forms of cricket for 10 years. The suspension follows Hepburn’s criminal conviction in 2019 and his involvement in an offensive WhatsApp group during his time as a professional cricketer.
Hepburn was found guilty of rape after attacking a sleeping woman as part of a sexual conquest “game”. The verdict was passed on September 16.
Hepburn was charged earlier this year by the Cricket Regulator with two breaches of Directive 3.3 of the 2017 ECB Directives. The first charge pertained to his 2019 criminal conviction, for which Hepburn was arrested and later served a prison sentence. The second charge revolved around his participation in a degrading WhatsApp group chat in 2017, which shared offensive and inappropriate content.
