Danni Wyatt, Jack Brooks, Eve Jones, Azeem Rafiq and Andrew Gale have been reprimanded by the England and Wales Cricket Broad for historical social-media posts.
Cricket Discipline Commission adjudicator Chris Tickle reprimanded each of the five former or current cricketers but they will face no further action.
All five have 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”.
Jones and Wyatt have also admitted a breach of ECB Directive 3.4, which states that “each participant is bound by and must comply with the ECB Anti-Discrimination Code”.
England Women cricketers Wyatt and Jones’ charge relates to a ‘blackface’ Instagram post from 2013.
Former Yorkshire bowler Rafiq and coach Gale have been reprimanded for anti-Semitic posts on Facebook and Twitter respectively.
Somerset player Brooks’ charge relates to tweets directed at England’s Tymal Mills and former cricketer Stewart Laudat which included racist language.
