A New South Wales cricketer has been permanently banned from playing after allegations he sent nude photos of himself to at least one young teammate at his grade cricket club.
The player, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has represented the NSW Blues in the Sheffield Shield and played for a T20 franchise team.
Cricket NSW released a statement saying an investigation was ongoing after an emergency board meeting late last week.
“After being made aware of a serious complaint, the Cricket NSW Board determined to permanently cancel a player’s registration effective immediately,” the statement read.
“As a result, he is suspended indefinitely from involvement in all cricket-related matters.
“We cannot comment further on this matter while investigations are ongoing.”
It is understood one player made a complaint to the club over the alleged incident, however there are believed to be further allegations from other players.
