Shiv Thakor’s Contract Terminated By Derbyshire

Few days after Shiv Thakor was found guilty of two accounts of sexual exposure, Derbyshire have terminated the player’ s contract with immediate effect, the club confirmed the news on Tuesday (November 21).

The English club had made it quite clear that it was keen on ending its association with the player after suspending the former England Under-19 all-rounder in July on full pay pending the outcome of the investigations when Derbyshire Police confirmed they were investigating allegations he indecently exposed himself to women at a housing development.

And after the all-rounder was pronounced guilty, the club did not take long to end its association with him. Thakor had signed a three-year contract with Derbyshire in 2016 after moving from Leicestershire.

“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,” the club said in a press release.

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,” it added.

Thakor was convicted by a district judge at South Derbyshire Magistrates’ Court last week and is now awaiting sentencing on November 24. Thakor, who was named Young Sports Personality of the Year at the British Asian Sports Awards, will be hoping that his career which was earmarked for greater things does not get derailed due to the incident.
