A Cricket Discipline Commission (CDC) Panel has deducted 24 points from Sussex CCC’s final Bob Willis Trophy points total.

Claydon was accused of using hand sanitiser on the ball and was subsequently suspended for nine matches.

Now Sussex have been punished - though the points deuction has little effect, as they did not finish anywhere near the top of the BW Trophy south group table.
