Anti-Discrimination Policy for International Cricket
Implementation Guidelines for Members
In June 2012 the ICC Board unanimously approved the incorporation of an ICC Anti-Racism Policy for International Cricket (subsequently revised and renamed the Anti-Discrimination Policy for International Cricket in July 2019) as part of its continuing efforts to maintain the public image, popularity and integrity of cricket. This Policy allows Members to exercise more flexibility and discretion in determining what is appropriate within their own jurisdictions to achieve to a consistently high standard the desired aims of the Policy. The revised Policy comes into force on 1 August 2019.
In this respect, the following table outlines the requirements upon each Member in respect of international cricket matches played within its jurisdiction. Included are suggested actions that a Member may wish to adopt to ensure the effective implementation of the Anti-Discrimination Policy. Each Member is encouraged to develop a system that suits its own particular national requirements.
It is recommended that in addition to developing an overall approach for encouraging diversity in cricket, each Member also develops two specific plans. The first being a plan for dealing with incidents of inappropriate conduct on match days and the second a plan or process for dealing with complaints of inappropriate conduct received outside of an official match. (Complaints may be received, for example, at warm-up matches, in person immediately after a match or in writing some time after a match is completed.)
The ICC will continue to assume primary responsibility for compliance with the Policy in relation to all ICC Events and will directly address all alleged breaches by players and officials of the ICC’s Anti-Discrimination Code for Participants in the manner described therein.
Should you wish to discuss any aspect of the Policy and its implementation or seek assistance from the ICC in developing an action plan to meet the relevant requirements, please contact the ICC Legal Department:
