Disgraced cricketer Lionel Cann had his match fee for an October 27 one-day international (ODI) against Kenya in Nairobi revoked by Bermuda Cricket Board (BCB) earlier this week.

The St. David's player/coach was sent home early during Bermuda's recent tour of Kenya and Dubai after being slapped with a two-game ODI ban by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for showing "serious dissent" during the match.

Cann landed himself in hot water for refusing to walk after being given out lbw and was also reported for smashing a trash bin on the way to the dressing room where he could be heard shouting.

Match referee Mike Procter of the Emirates Elite Panel found the 35-year-old all-rounder guilty of committing a Level Two offence.

In the aftermath of the incident, Procter said: "This ban should serve as a message to players that this type of behaviour is not allowed. Such acts are completely unacceptable.

"Cricket is a sport which teaches us discipline and respect for an umpire's decision. Anyone associated with this game has to respect its values and laws and anyone being disrespectful has to be penalised."

BCB president Reggie Pearman also did not condone the player's actions.

"Lionel has a vast amount of international experience and understands exactly what is expected of a player at this level. We expect that our senior players will lead by example, particularly in professionalsim and behavioural matters," he said in a written press statement.

Cann's latest misdemeanour arrived fresh on the heels of another incident during the Island's tour of Holland last August which saw the explosive batsman receive a year's probation for a verbal spat with the Netherlands' Edgar Schiferli from world cricket's governing body.

The Board's decision not to impose further punishment on the player might've come as a surprise to many, especially given the fact Southampton Rangers batsman Dion Stovell was slapped with a four-month ban — after serving a one match suspension on tour — for also refusing to walk after being given out by the umpire.

Stovell, who appealed unsuccessfully against the Board's ruling, stood his ground while representing Bermuda at the youth level against Jamaica in the Caribbean three years ago.

Meanwhile, Southampton Rangers player/coach Janeiro Tucker was scheduled to go before the BCB's disciplinary committee last night to face charges of bringing the game into disrepute during a September Premier Division match involving his team and Cleveland at Southampton Oval.

It is the second time Tucker has landed himself in hot water with the Board this year after serving a three-game suspension for exhibiting unsportsmanlike behaviour during a June 17 Premier Division clash between Rangers and St. George's at the Oval.
