Cheteshwar Pujara Suspended for one game after Sussex lost 12 Points for their 'On-Field Behaviour'

Indian international Cricketer, Cheteshwar Pujara has been suspended from one county game after his team Sussex was docked 12 points in the County Championship due to a code of conduct breach during the match against Leicestershire. Pujara received a suspension after the club reached the limit of four fixed penalties in the same season. Pujara will not be available for this week's game against Derbyshire.

Sussex have also made the decision to stand down Jack Carson, Tom Haines and Ari Karvelas for behaviour issues. They had previously been sanctioned twice by the umpires in the early part of the season. Cheteshwar Pujara was charged with a Level 1 offence in the opening game against Durham and Haines.

"We have made Jack and Tom unavailable for selection for this game at Derbyshire," Farbrace said. "Following the umpires and match referee's decision to charge both players with on-field level one and level two offences, we needed to take a stance and show them we will not condone such behaviours. Ultimately it has cost us the availability of Cheteshwar and we have been deducted 12 points."
