A female staff member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) has alleged harassment at the workplace. It is expected that she reportedly filed the complaints through letters to the officials. She handed over the letter written on an A4 sheet to a top ICC official instead of emailing it to the authorities. Surprisingly, the ICC has yet to take any action against the accused in the matter, and there hasnt been any dialogue or a committee constituted to look into the allegations.As per the reports, the ICC official against whom the complaints were made has had multiple complaints of allegedly harassing co-workers. The staff member was scared that her emails were being tracked by the senior officers and that it may create more trouble for her in the supreme cricket governing body.The female staff had spent a reasonable amount of time working at ICC on different projects, and the alleged harassment by the senior ICC official started before the 2021 T-20 World Cup, which took place in the UAE. Working at the headquarters in Dubai, the staff knocked on a lot of doors before losing all hope and running out of options.According to the official website of the ICC, under the Integrity and Safeguarding tab, it says, “Everyone involved in cricket has the right to be protected from harassment, abuse and harm. As the international governing body for cricket, the ICC is committed to ensuring a safe and protected environment for all participants.”
