Cheteshwar Pujara suspended for one match in Division II of the County Championship

LONDON: India middle-order batsman Cheteshwar Pujara, who is leading Sussex in Division II of the County Championship, has been slapped with a one-match ban while the team has been handed a 12-point penalty after the club received their fourth fixed penalty of the season.

The club received its third and fourth penalties of the season during their win over Leicestershire at Hove in the recent round of the County Championship last week.

As per County Championships rules, accumulating four penalties during a season automatically triggers a 12-point deduction under regulation 4.29 of the Professional Conduct Regulations. IANS
