Sussex men receive suspended points penalty from Cricket Discipline Commission

Sussex have been given a suspended points dedection by the Cricket Discipline Commission (CDC) ater the men's team received five fixed penalties in a 12-month period. The decision was made at a remote disciplinary hearing on Tuesday 15th June, which was chaired by Chris Tickle, alongside Amrisha Parathalingam and Paul Joy.

The CDC's decision will result in a penalty of 12 points in the LV= Insurance County Championship and/or two points in the Vitality Blast and/or two points in the Royal London Cup being imposed if cricketers playing for Sussex men incur a further two fixed penalty breaches in any competition within a period of 12 months from the date of the hearing. The precise nature of the points deductions will be decided by the panel depending on the seriousness of any future breaches and the competition in which they occur.
