Jason Roy given ECB penalty points for incident in Surrey-Sussex match

Jason Roy has been given three penalty points by the ECB cricket discipline commission after an incident in Surrey's T20 Blast match against Sussex.

Roy scored 26 from just 25 balls but was bowled by Danny Briggs and hit the stumps with his bat in frustration. Surrey went on to win the match at The Oval on July 22 by 10 runs.

The 26-year-old was reported by umpires David Millns and Alex Wharf for a Level One breach of the ECB's disciplinary code (abuse of cricket ground, equipment or fixtures/fittings).

Roy previously received a reprimand following a Level One breach in August 2015 (using language that is obscene, offensive or insulting and/or making an obscene gesture) and the penalty for a subsequent breach at Level One within 24 months is three penalty points.

If a player receives nine penalty points within the 24-month period, they are subjected to a suspension from all cricket.

Last season, Billy Godleman of Derbyshire was suspended from April 30 until May 13 after reaching the nine-point threshold.
