Kent's Matt Coles suspended by ECB; Stuart Broad reprimanded
Saturday 7 May 2016 10:38, UK
Kent seamer Matt Coles has been suspended for two weeks for throwing the ball in a "dangerous manner"
Coles was reported by umpires Nick Cook and Rob Bailey during Kent's match against Glamorgan for a Level Two breach of the code - throwing the ball at or near a player, umpire or official in an inappropriate and dangerous manner.
He had previously accumulated nine penalty points for two previous infringements and is banned until May 18, meaning he will miss games against Gloucestershire and Northants.
Glamorgan's Chris Cooke was also reported by the umpires during the same match for a Level One breach of the code - abuse of cricket ground, equipment and/or fixtures and fittings - given a reprimand.
England bowler Stuart Broad, meanwhile, has been reprimanded over his behaviour while playing for Nottinghamshire against Yorkshire.
Broad was reported by umpires Richard Kettleborough, Michael Gough and Richard Illingworth over an incident during the Specsavers County Championship Division One clash at Trent Bridge.
He was found guilty of a Level One breach of the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) Directives for "showing dissent at an umpire's decision by word or action."
