On 3 February, a Cricket Discipline Commission (CDC) Panel imposed a five-match ban on Alex Davies in relation to the player’s historic social media posts.
Mr Davies, who had been charged with breaching ECB Directives 3.3 and 3.4, will serve an immediate one-match ban with the other four matches suspended for a two-year period from the date of the Hearing. He was also fined £1,500.
The CDC Panel was chaired by Mark Milliken-Smith QC, alongside Ricky Needham and David Murphy.
Any appeal must be made within 14 days from the date of the decision.

The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is the national governing body for cricket in England and Wales, formed on January 1, 1997. It combines roles from the Test and County Cricket Board, National Cricket Association, and Cricket Council, and integrated the Women’s Cricket Association in 1998. Based at Lord’s Cricket Ground, the ECB oversees all levels of cricket, including national teams for men, women, and various disability categories.
