Southampton Rangers' skipper Janeiro Tucker is among a star-studded list of players who will appear before a Bermuda Cricket Board of Control disciplinary committee today.

The talented all-rounder along with his team-mate and cousin, Kwame Tucker, were both reported by umpire Randy Butler who alleges the pair showed unsportsmanlike conduct after they were given out lbw against St.David's on the opening day of the 2002 league campaign at Southampton Oval.

It's understood that both players made verbal apologies to the umpires immediately following the match, but Butler stood by his initial decision to make mention of the incidents in his match report.

Two weeks later the same umpire refused to report St.David's' Phillip Pitcher and St.George's' Sinclair Gibbons after they were involved in an on-field scuffle at at Wellington Oval.

Since then, however, the BCBC have stepped in and both players have been summoned to appear before the Board's special committee today, Pitcher having already served a two-match suspension handed down by his own club.

Rangers' player-coach Clevie Wade has also been ordered to appear before the disciplinary panel after he was alleged to have had words with umpire Steven West during Southampton's home win against Bailey's Bay on May 26.

And Bay skipper Corey Hill and team-mate Jermaine Warner could also be in hot water for their conduct in the same match. They too will get the chance to state their case later today.

Meanwhile, it remains to be seen what action Somerset Cricket Club will take over wicketkeeper Reid Jones' disappearing act last Sunday.

The player reportedly whipped off his pads and left the pitch in disgust during the west enders' home match with St.George's.

For the Southampton trio, the latest disciplinary development couldn't have come at a worse time as their team prepare for Saturday's battle with Western Stars in the final of the Combined Knockout Cup slated for Somerset Cricket Club.

It was just last March that Janeiro Tucker was summoned before the BCBC disciplinary committee for taking part in an interview with this newspaper. However, as he wasn't a member of Bermuda's America's Cup team at the time the panel failed to impose any punishment.

Clay Smith also escaped their wrath for the same reason but Somerset's Wendell White was given a four-match ban for speaking to the press without the Board's permission.
