England women's skipper Heather Knight has been reprimanded and handed a fine of 1000 Great Britain Pounds by Cricket Discipline Commission (CDC) for a 2012 photo in blackface, deemed as "racist and discriminatory conduct". As per ESPNCricinfo, the photo, which was taken by a third party at a sports stars themed fancy dress party at a cricket club party back in 2012, breached the directive 3.3 of England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), which stated at that time, "No such person may conduct himself 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."
