Tom Curran Suspended For Four BBL Matches Due To Altercation With Umpire; Sydney Sixers To File An Appeal
Big Bash League: England's fast-bowling all-rounder Tom Curran has been banned for the next four matches of the ongoing Big Bash League (BBL) due to a pre-match altercation with an umpire ahead of his team Sydney Sixers’ match against Hobart Hurricanes at Launceston.
The tournament said in a statement that following the match on December 11, Curran has been charged with a Level 3 offence under the Cricket Australia Code of Conduct. As per Cricket Australia (CA), prior to the commencement of the match, Curran completed a practice run up in which he ran onto part of the pitch.
He was then verbally instructed by the Umpire not to run on to the pitch. Following this, Curran moved to the opposite end of the pitch to complete another practice run up. The Umpire took position next to the stumps, blocking Curran from approaching the pitch and gestured to Curran to move away from the pitch.
