Robin Das, Former Essex Cricketer, Faces Court Over Twin Rape Charges
Robin Das, a Bangladeshi-origin former Essex cricketer, appeared in London’s Inner Crown Court on charges of two alleged rapes that reportedly occurred in Brixton in March 2024. The trial is scheduled for January 2028 due to court backlogs. Das was arrested in August 2025 and released on conditional bail. Essex County Cricket Club suspended him after the charges and did not renew his contract, stating the alleged incidents happened outside club activities. Das has made 60 appearances for Essex and played for Dhaka Dominators in the Bangladesh Premier League.
