Two-ODI ban for Benn

Perth: West Indies spinner Sulieman Benn was on Friday handed a two-ODI ban while Australia’s Brad Haddin and Mitchell Johnson were let off with fines after being found guilty of conduct contrary to the spirit of cricket.

The players were involved in an ugly altercation during the third cricket Test between the two teams on Thursday.

“West Indies spinner Sulieman Benn has received two suspension points while Brad Haddin and Mitchell Johnson have been fined 25 per cent and 10 per cent, respectively,” an ICC release said.

Two suspension points in the enhanced code means a ban of one Test or two ODIs, depending whichever comes first for the player.

Hence, Benn will miss the first two ODIs against Australia in Melbourne and Adelaide on February 7 and 9 next year. — PTI
