Yorkshire limited-overs captain Alex Lees has apologised to umpire Martin Saggers for comments he made after the T20 Blast defeat to Notts Outlaws.
The opening batsman questioned the performance of Saggers during the damaging loss at Trent Bridge, when speaking to the media on Friday.
Yorkshire took action by handing Lees a two-match ban, which is suspended for one year, and the 23-year-old has since shown contrition.
"I regret comments made following Friday night's game and I would like to offer my sincerest apologies to Martin, Lees said.

"These comments are uncharacteristic and were made in the heat of the moment.
"I understand the seriousness of the offence and regret these actions. I am now keen to put this incident behind me and concentrate on the important games coming up at Headingley this week."
