England\u2019s Tom Curran has been banned for four games in Australia\u2019s Big Bash League after being charged with intimidating an umpire.<\/p>\n

Curran and his club, the Sydney Sixers, denied the offence and plan to appeal against the suspension.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred on December 11, when Curran was warming up ahead of a game against Hobart Hurricanes in Launceston.<\/p>\n

Cricket Australia\u2019s code of conduct commissioner Adrian Anderson found that the 28-year-old, who last played for England in 2021, became involved in a disagreement with an umpire while going through his run-up.<\/p>\n

The match official instructed Curran not to run on the pitch and stood next to the stumps to block his approach after he attempted to continue.<\/p>\n

Anderson found that Curran \u201cattempted to perform a practice run up and run at pace straight towards the umpire, who stood in the bowling crease facing Curran. The umpire stepped to his right to avoid the risk of collision\u201d.<\/p>\n

Tom and the club maintain that Tom did not knowingly or intentionally intimidate a match official and, on legal advice, we will exercise our right to appeal the decision.<\/p>\n

That was deemed a level three offence under clause 2.17 of the CA code \u2013 which covers \u201cintimidation or attempted intimidation of an umpire or match referee\u201d \u2013 leading to four penalty points and a four-game ban.<\/p>\n

Rachael Haynes, the former Australia Women\u2019s captain and head of the Sixers, said the franchise would contest the ruling.<\/p>\n

\u201cTom and the club maintain that Tom did not knowingly or intentionally intimidate a match official and, on legal advice, we will exercise our right to appeal the decision,\u201d she said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will support Tom during this period and look forward to him returning to the field.\u201d<\/p>\n
