THE CRICKET REGULATOR

Established in December 2023, the Cricket Regulator was set up to be the ring-fenced executive team responsible for ensuring effective education programmes are in place; to operate best practice monitoring, intelligence, and compliance programmes; to investigate alleged breaches, and to prosecute cases where considered appropriate.

The Cricket Regulator focuses on Anti-Corruption, Anti-Discrimination, Anti-Doping, Safeguarding, General Misconduct, and Agency activity in the professional game, as well as other designated levels of organised cricket. Safeguarding and Anti-Discrimination also involves working with other organisations across the recreational game. The Cricket Regulator also ensures cricket in England and Wales meets the regulatory requirements of the International Cricket Council, and also playing a lead role in combatting global threats.

The roles and responsibilities of the Cricket Regulator were previously carried out by an ECB team, which has largely transitioned across to the new structure. An objective in the creation of the Cricket Regulator was to create greater assurance around the separation between regulatory functions and the remainder of the ECB activities.

PURPOSE

The Director of The Cricket Regulator will lead the Cricket Regulator’s experienced operational team, and the next stage of our development. This pivotal role offers the chance to shape the future of cricket regulation.

Our core mission involves implementing robust education programmes, monitoring compliance, investigating breaches, and prosecuting cases across anti-corruption, anti-discrimination, anti-doping, safeguarding, and general misconduct in professional cricket, and with a significant role throughout the game
