Bermuda Cricket Board (BCB) chief Reggie Pearman did not rule out of the possibility yesterday of imposing additional disciplinary sanctions upon senior national team cricketer Lionel Cann.

All rounder Cann was recently slapped with a two-game one-day international (ODI) ban by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for committing a Level Two offence during the Island's second ODI against hosts Kenya in Nairobi last Saturday.

After being given out leg before by the umpire the St. David's player/coach stood his ground and had to be forced off the field by team skipper Irving Romaine and was also written up for smashing a trash bin on the way to the dressing room where he could be heard shouting.

"I am disappointed about what happened because Lionel (Cann) should be setting an example for everybody. We (BCB) are not condoning what he done and he should've governed himself accordingly because we have youngsters over there. And basically he should've walked because sometimes decisions go in your favour and other times they don't," BCB president Pearman stated.

The Board now intend to investigate the incident more thoroughly before exploring the possibility of imposing further punishment on the player, Pearman said.

"We have sent out a request to get the full details from the ICC and all others concerned and once we have all of the details we will then move on from there," he added. "But first we need the full details which our manager (Lionel Tannock) has been asked to forward to us."

On Saturday match referee Mike Procter, who described Cann's actions as "unacceptable", found the 35-year-old cricketer guilty of committing a Level Two offence.

"This ban should serve as a message to players that this type of behaviour is not allowed. 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," Procter said.

Last weekend's incident marked the second time in less than three-months that Cann has landed himself in hot water with world cricket's governing body.

During the Islanders' tour of Holland last August, Cann and the Netherlands' Edgar Schiferli were both put on 12-month probations for an on-field flare up that was eventually nipped in the bud when the two players were separated before cooler heads eventually prevailed.
