LONDON: Former Glamorgan coach Grant Bradburn has been fined and warned about his future conduct after admitting to discriminatory conduct during his spell with the Welsh county cricket side.
Bradburn was sacked by Glamorgan in December following an internal investigation into the New Zealander´s behaviour. A Cricket Discipline Commission (CDC) found the former Scotland and Pakistan coach twice made comments with “racist connotations” and also made a remark with “sexist connotations”. The 58-year-old has been ordered to attend an educational course and fined £500 ($648), in addition to the reprimand.
In its written reasons for the sanction, the CDC said it was alleged Bradburn asked players from an Asian background what their “real age” was, implying they do not tell the truth about their age.
It was also alleged he said during a pre-season team meeting that when making cricket selection decisions in Pakistan, players would pick their friends or cousins or pick names out of a hat.
Bradburn allegedly used the phrase “this isn´t Western Storm” (a former women´s team) during a fielding practice session when he considered that male players were demonstrating a lack of intensity, “throwing like girls”.
Bradburn, a former New Zealand off-spinner, coached Scotland from 2014 to 2018. He worked as Pakistan´s fielding coach, subsequently taking over as head coach in 2023 -- a role he left after less than a year, prior to joining Glamorgan in January 2024.
