By Colin ThompsonBermuda Cricket Board (BCB) have withdrawn Treadwell Gibbons jr from the senior national training squad preparing for November’s ICC World Twenty20.Local cricket’s governing body came under fire after naming Gibbons in a squad of 36 players only days after the batsman threatened Somerset’s players during last week’s Cup Match at Wellington Oval.But according to a BCB press release, the squad had been chosen prior to Cup Match.“The national training squad was selected and approved shortly before the Cup Match holiday to be released on Tuesday, 6 August,” read a BCB statement.Earlier this week former umpire George Francis slammed the BCB for naming Gibbons in the training squad following what was viewed as unsportsmanlike conduct.The all-rounder, who celebrated his 28th birthday earlier this week, stood his ground following his dismissal and challenged the umpire’s decision before angrily waving his bat towards Somerset players.He had to be restrained from confronting Somerset players by St George’s skipper Oronde Bascome and escorted back to the pavilion where he was involved in a separate incident near the clubhouse with a spectator that was only prevented from escalating after police stepped in.Gibbons’ unruly behaviour has prompted the BCB to suspend the player from the national programme while a review of last week’s incident is being conducted.“In light of the incidents during the second day of Cup Match, Treadwell Gibbons has been suspended from the squad until investigations into the matter are complete,” read the BCB statement.When contacted, BCB president Lloyd Fray added: “We will look to have the full report from the umpires and also have an interview with Mr Gibbons and will determine the actions that may or may not take place with regards with what comes out of our interview and investigation with Mr Gibbons.”Former St George’s Cup Match player Lee Raynor has publicly condemned Gibbons’ actions and called upon his club to impose tough disciplinary sanctions upon the player.At press time St George’s Cricket Club had yet to take any disciplinary action against Gibbons’ whose moment of fury was witnessed by thousands at the ground and on TV.St George’s president Neil Paynter has so far declined to comment while Gibbons has yet to respond to an invitation to give his side of the story.Gibbons, who plays club cricket for Cleveland County, has a history of disciplinary run-ins.In 2003 he was axed from Bermuda’s Under-19 squad and banned six games for fighting team-mate George O’Brien Jr during a practice session at the National Sports Centre and also punished for displaying unsportsmanlike conduct at the West Indies Cricket Board Under-19 Youth Tournament in Jamaica.In 2007, Gibbons received a two-year ban for showing “serious dissent at an umpire’s decision, threatening to assault an umpire and using foul language or gestures that seriously offend, insult, humiliate, intimidate or vilifies another person on the basis of that person’s race, religion, colour or ethnic origin after refusing to walk after being given lbw out during a match.”The player’s lengthy ban was later reduced to eight games on appeal.
