Imran Tahir faces one-match ban

He has been suspended from the match between the Sunfoil Dolphins and Chevrolet Warriors to be played at East London from January 8 to 11.

He was charged for allegedly showing dissent at an umpire's decision during Sunfoil Series match where the Dolphins played against the Warriors on 18 – 21 December 2014.  

He pleaded guilty to the charge and did not attend the hearing.

“After careful consideration of the facts and the concerns raised, it is held that this disciplinary body has no authority to suspend Mr Tahir from playing in the upcoming T20 international matches against West India on the 9th and 11th of January 2015, and I am satisfied that the appropriate penalty in respect of this offence, which is a level 2 offence, is a suspension for one four-day match," said CSA Disciplinary Commissioner, Professor Rian Cloete.
