The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) today confirmed Chris Read has received a penalty under the ECB’s discipline code.
Read was reported by umpires Martin Saggers and Alex Wharf during Nottinghamshire’s LV= County Championship match against Yorkshire on 8-11 June 2014 for a Level 1 breach of the code (showing dissent at an umpire’s decision by word or action).
The penalty for this offence is a reprimand. This penalty will remain on his record for a period of two years and the accumulation of nine or more penalty points in any two-year period will result in an automatic suspension.
