Stovell faces disciplinary action from BCB
The Southampton Rangers skipper quit Saturday’s national team practice match at the National Sports Centre following an alleged heated on-field verbal spat with a teammate. He could be now facing disciplinary action from Bermuda Cricket Board (BCB).
It is understood BCB officials may consider whether or not to impose disciplinary sanctions upon the talented all-rounder at a meeting to be held this week.
Stovell declined to comment on the incident when contacted today, while national coach David Moore could not be reached.
Several years ago Stovell was handed a lengthy suspension by the BCB for refusing to walk after being given out while representing the island at youth level in the Caribbean.
Prior to Saturday’s incident the aggressive opening batsman and off-break spinner had been considered as an integral part of Bermuda’s plans for the upcoming regional Twenty/20 World Cup qualifier.
Earlier this year he shone brightly with the bat during Bermuda’s disappointing World Cricket League Division Two Tournament in the United Arab Emirates.
He also helped club side Rangers regain the Belco Cup after dethroning cup holders PHC in the final at Lords.[[In-content Ad]]
