On the weekend the team for the ICC Trophy is to be announced, national team cricketer Hasan Durham is in disciplinary hot water.

The Western Stars captain could become the first player to fall foul of the Bermuda Cricket Board?s new code of conduct after walking onto the field and questioning an umpire?s decision during the defeat to St. David?s at Lord?s last Sunday.

If this action were to be deemed ?showing serious dissent at an umpire?s decision by action or verbal abuse? ? a Level Two offence under the new code ? he could be slapped with a ban of up to three matches, more than enough to disrupt his ICC Trophy preparations, were he selected.

The new code was brought in just prior to the first games of this season, an attempt by the BCB to align domestic punishments with that of the International Cricket Council and to avoid a repeat of inconsistent punishments, such as the four months Dion Stovell received last year for showing dissent to an umpire on a tour game.

Last Sunday, it is understood Durham came on to the field and approached the umpire after a complicated run-out decision in which injured Albert Steede was given out after his runner was run out although there was some initial doubt over whether he?d crossed with batsman Jekon Edness.

The incident was subsequently reported to the BCB, the first apparent breach of the new code on the season?s second weekend.

?I can confirm we have received an umpire?s report in relation to an incident from the weekend?s games and we have written to the player to advise of him his rights ahead of any disciplinary hearing,? said BCB secretary Marc Wetherhill.

?A disciplinary process has begun in keeping with the new code of conduct we have introduced.?

When the code was introduced, Wetherhill made it clear the intention was to assist the players.

?I think it is good for the players to have something like this laid down and memorialised,? he said ahead of opening weekend.

?So everyone knows what the code is and how players and officials will be dealt with for breaching it.?

National team players may need to be on their best behaviour in coming weeks with the ICC Trophy looming.

The new code of conduct remains unclear as to whether domestic bans carry over into international matches, but until clarification is given by the BCB on the issue, Gus Logie?s men will have to be careful not to break the code and potentially risk a ban from the opening games in Ireland in July.

The 14-man squad for the ICC Trophy is set to be announced to players tomorrow with the public announcement taking place on Monday.
