Heather Knight, England captain, has been reprimanded and slapped with a £1,000 suspedned fine for 12-year-old post on social media. In the picture which had surfaced online, Knight was seen wearing a "blackface" at a sports-themed fancy dress party. Knight is all set to lead England in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024 set to get underway on October 3.

The England skipper has apologised sincerely saying that she's "truly sorry" for her past actions after the Cricket Discipline Commission adjudicator Tim O'Gorman deemed the conduct "racist and discrimanatory."

Knight has issued a public statement, saying that she was not educated about the consequences of her actions.

"Back then, I simply was not as educated as to the implications and consequences of my actions as I have become since. There was no ill-intent meant," she said.

"Whilst I can't change the past, I am passionate and committed to using my platform to promote inclusivity across the game, ensuring under-represented groups are afforded the same opportunities and fulfilment within the game as I have," she added.
