Derbyshire cricketer Shiv Thakor, 24, has been found guilty of exposing himself to two women near Mackworth, Derbyshire, on June 12 and 19. He exposed himself to one woman as she bent down to pick paper up from a printer, the court heard. Thakor, of Richardson Way, Derby, was convicted of two sexual exposure charges.
Southern Derbyshire Magistrates' Court heard Thakor's actions caused "distress" to the two women.
The cricketer, who had previously played for England at under-19 level, had been jogging around a housing estate before he exposed himself to one of the women, the court heard. The first victim, who labelled him "Shifty Shiv", claimed Thakor "aroused" himself outside a property before exposing himself through a "gap" in his trousers. The woman said she believed Thakor was aware he was exposing himself.
Thakor said he has "a tendency" to "rearrange" himself. The second woman said Thakor stopped outside the property a week later and exposed himself while she was on the phone. Orla Daly, defending, suggested to both witnesses that they had simply "got it wrong". Giving evidence, Thakor said: "I have got a tendency to rearrange myself both at the front and back during games. "I've never exposed myself, it's not something I would ever do."
Derbyshire County Cricket Club said Thakor will remain suspended while the club reviews the case. District judge Andrew Meachin said: "I am satisfied that you did intentionally expose yourself and I find you guilty of both charges." Thakor will be sentenced on 24 November.
