Hepburn Hit with 10-Year Ban Across England and Wales.

Former Worcestershire all-rounder Alex Hepburn has received a 10-year ban from all cricket-related activities in England and Wales.

Alex Hepburn, jailed for rape in 2019 and released in 2021, has been handed a 10-year ban from cricket in England and Wales. 

The ban is backdated to his release. Hepburn, now 28 and living in Australia, was convicted for a 2017 attack in Worcester during a sexual conquest competition he organized with teammates via WhatsApp. His conviction was upheld in 2020. 

Earlier this year, Hepburn was charged with two breaches of ECB Directives—one for his conviction and the other for his role in the offensive WhatsApp group.
