England captain Heather Knight handed suspended fine over 2012 racist photo

England women's cricket captain received a reprimand and a suspended fine of 1,000 pounds, said ECB. The social media post featured Knight in blackface at a fancy dress party held at a cricket club in Kent. The image recently resurfaced on social media and was considered offensive and a violation of the ECB's directive 3.3, which covers "acts or omissions prejudicial to the interests of cricket or likely to bring cricket or cricketers into disrepute."
