Following an investigation by the Cricket Regulator, Josh Cobb and Worcestershire County Cricket Club have been charged with breaches of Regulations 3.2 and 3.3 of the ECB Professional Conduct Regulations, relating to the use of a non-compliant bat in a Vitality T20 Blast game against Durham on 5 July 2024.
ECB Directive 3.2 concerns participants conducting themselves fairly and properly on the field, and ECB Directive 3.3 concerns conduct, acts or omissions which are improper, or which may be prejudicial to the interests of cricket, or which may bring the ECB or the game of cricket into disrepute.
The charge will be considered in due course by the independent Cricket Discipline Commission. No further comment will be made until the case is concluded.
