About Us

Established in December 2023, the Cricket Regulator was set up to be the ring-fenced executive team responsible for ensuring effective education programmes are in place; to operate best practice monitoring, intelligence, and compliance programmes; to investigate alleged breaches, and to prosecute cases where considered appropriate.

The Cricket Regulator focuses on Anti-Corruption, Anti-Discrimination, Anti-Doping, Safeguarding, General Misconduct, and Agency activity in the professional game, as well as other designated levels of organised cricket. Safeguarding and Anti-Discrimination also involves working with other organisations across the recreational game. The Cricket Regulator also ensures cricket in England and Wales meets the regulatory requirements of the International Cricket Council, and also playing a lead role in combatting global threats.

The roles and responsibilities of the Cricket Regulator were previously carried out by an ECB team, which has largely transitioned across to the new structure. An objective in the creation of the Cricket Regulator was to create greater assurance around the separation between regulatory functions and the remainder of the ECB activities.

In this role you will be undertaking and supporting investigations across the recreational game and professional game for the Cricket Regulator.

THE ECB

The England and Wales Cricket Board is the national governing body for cricket in England and Wales, supporting the game at every level, covering the recreational and professional games. The goal of the ECB is for cricket to be the most inclusive team sport, through delivering the Inspiring Generations strategy and fulfilling the ECB purpose to connect communities and improve lives through cricket.

The ECB Board has the power to set standards in relation to on and off field activity and does so through regulations.  The ECB General Counsel has executive responsibility for the ECB regulations, reporting to the ECB Chief Executive. All proposed regulation must be scrutinised by the Regulatory Board, who advise the ECB Board.
