Pujara banned by the England and Wales Cricket Board
The Sussex team had received 4 penalties in a single season. Jack Carson, Tom Haines, and Ari Karvelas behaved poorly. These three players have not been considered available for selection in the next match. Due to 4 penalties, 12 points of Sussex were deducted and captain Cheteshwar Pujara has been banned for one match. Now the Sussex team will have to play without Pujara in the next match of the County Championship against Derbyshire.
Sussex slipped to fifth place due to a point deduction
Sussex had performed brilliantly earlier, but have now slipped to fifth place in the points table and are 30 points behind second-placed Worcestershire. Sussex still has two games left in the season. England Lions off-spinner Jack Carson, 22, was spoken to by the umpires during Leicestershire’s fourth innings chase of 499 when he tried to dodge Ben Cox while the batsman was at the non-striker end. But was completing the run. Then he had some discussion with the umpires.
The coach said this –
Coach Paul Farbrace has said that we have kept Jack and Tom out for the match against Derbyshire. Umpires and referees have charged both players with level one and level two offenses on the field. Therefore, we needed to take a firm stance against them and show them that such behavior cannot be condoned.

Paul Farbrace – I am very disappointed by these events and want to ensure
Now we will have to play without Cheteshwar Pujara. We have also decided that Arie Karvelas will not be considered available for selection until the investigation is complete. I am very disappointed by these incidents and wish that we do not find ourselves in this situation again. This is a great opportunity for other players to perform brilliantly on this occasion and make an important contribution to winning the county championship.
