Chair sought for ECB’s independent tribunal, Cricket Discipline Panel

The Cricket Discipline Panel (CDP) will be the ECB’s new independent tribunal, responsible for adjudicating on certain regulatory disciplinary matters within professional cricket on behalf of the ECB Board. Its function is to consider cases brought before it by the Cricket Regulator, the body responsible for monitoring compliance with and enforcement of adherence to the game’s regulations on behalf of the ECB, in relation to the ECB’s disciplinary regulations and other rules and/or regulations which contain disciplinary powers to be discharged by the CDP.

The ECB is now seeking to appoint a Chair with suitable legal and sports disciplinary expertise to influence the future of cricket’s disciplinary panel structure. As Chair, the successful candidate will be presiding over specific disciplinary cases, appointing the other members of the CDP, and allocating those individuals to hear specific cases.

This is a high-profile role suitable for an experienced barrister, solicitor or judge with extensive knowledge of best practice in conducting sports disciplinary matters and arbitrations in an arbitral (or judicial) capacity.

To succeed in this role, the candidate will not only have the required skills and experience around sports disciplinary matters, but also have a passion for sport and be motivated to draw on their demonstrable track record to fulfil the CDP’s role as an effective independent tribunal.

The closing date for applications is 9am on 5th of August. More information can be found here.
