However, he was ruled out of the tour after sustaining a broken finger in the opening match of the trip against Western Cape Invitation XI. Personal life In June 2017, Thakor was suspended by Derbyshire after allegations of indecent exposure towards two female estate agents. Thakor was being shown around a new house when it is alleged he "catastrophically misread the signals and was found in a bedroom in a state of undress." During police interview, Thakor stated that he had already been "sexually satisfied" by his "16-year-old girlfriend" so he would not have committed the offences. He was subsequently arrested and found guilty in relation to the alleged incident. On 21 November 2017 his contract with Derbyshire County Cricket Club was terminated. At his sentencing he was placed on the sex offenders register for 5 years and was also given a three-year community order and ordered to pay over £1,000 in costs.
