Tuesday 21 November 2017 17:03, UK
Derbyshire have terminated the contract of Shiv Thakor after the all-rounder was found guilty of indecently exposing himself to two women.
Thakor was suspended by the club in July when Derbyshire Police confirmed they were investigating allegations he indecently exposed himself to women at a housing development on Radbourne Lane in Mackworth.
The 24-year-old was convicted by a district judge at South Derbyshire Magistrates' Court last week and is now awaiting sentencing on November 24.
Derbyshire confirmed they terminated Thakor's contract on Tuesday in the wake of the guilty verdict.
The statement read: "Derbyshire County Cricket Club has terminated Shiv Thakor's contract with immediate effect.
"On Wednesday 15 November, Thakor was found guilty at Southern Derbyshire Magistrates Court in connection with two accounts of sexual exposure.
"The club expects the highest standards of behaviour from all its staff and is opposed to sexual harassment in any form.
"Following last week's court decision, the club has reviewed the case and Thakor's contract has been terminated with immediate effect.
"The club will make no further comment."
