After an incident at the recent LV= County Championship match between Lancashire and Yorkshire, the England and Wales Cricket Board made a formal complaint to the Cricket Discipline Commission (CDC) about the conduct of the Yorkshire captain Andrew Gale.
On receipt of this complaint the CDC has decided to convene a Disciplinary Panel Hearing to consider the matter.
In these circumstances it was not felt appropriate for Mr Gale to be involved in today’s LV= County Championship Division One trophy presentation at Trent Bridge.
The ECB will not make any further comment until the disciplinary process is concluded.
