Disciplinary findings awaited

Barbados board waiting on Benn's file

October 1, 2007

The board of the Barbados Cricket Association (BCA) is still awaiting a decision on a disciplinary matter involving Sulieman Benn earlier in the season.

Benn, who has been named in a 16-man Barbados squad for the upcoming KFC Cup, was embroiled in an on-field confrontation with Robin Parris on June 23 during the Banks Division 1 match between arch-rivals Super Centre Spartan and ICBL Empire at Queen's Park.

BCA chief executive officer, Dr Roland Toppin, said after receiving a report from match officials, that the matter was referred to the complaints and disputes committee. It was heard by a sub-committee but the findings are yet to be passed on to the office.

The incident, which both clubs apologised for a week later, developed after Benn delivered a beamer to Parris. When Parris was attempting to run a single off the next ball, television cameras captured Benn gently kicking him.

Parris showed his frustration by walking past the stumps at the bowler's end and approaching Benn in a face-to-face, glove-pointing remonstration
