Wigan half-back Harry Smith also received a one-game ban for foul play.

MEN’S CRICKET: The West Indies begin their three match one-day series against Sri Lanka at Sabina Park, Jamaica, tomorrow afternoon.

Sri Lanka are currently rated as the world’s sixth-best one-day team, four places above the West Indies.
