Essex County Cricket Club’s chairman has stepped down from his position following revelations that he had falsified information about his educational background. Anurag Mohindru, a criminal lawyer, was disbarred by the Barristers’ Tribunal Service after it was discovered that he fabricated his CV while applying for a senior role.
