England Cricketer Tom Curran will miss Sydney Sixers’ next four matches in the 2023/24 Big Bash after being found guilty of intimidating an umpire.
The incident took place ahead of Sydney Sixers’ match against Hobart Hurricanes in Launceston on December 11 when Curran tried to complete a practice run-up on the pitch during the warm-up.
“Curran was seen in the footage gesturing to the umpire to move away from the pitch. Curran then attempted to perform a practice run-up and run at pace straight towards the umpire who stood in the bowling crease facing Curran. The umpire stepped to his right to avoid the risk of collision.”
The vision everyone's been waiting for.
