Essex cricketer Robin Das, a 24-year-old batsman of Bangladeshi origin, has been charged with two counts of rape. Das, who was born and raised in England, was arrested in August 2025 following a report in March 2024. The Metropolitan Police charged him on July 23, 2026, for an alleged incident on March 30, 2024. Police confirm that the woman involved continues to receive support from specialist officers.
Das is set to appear at Inner London Crown Court on October 9. His last match for Essex was on July 21, before the charges were brought against him.
