Disgraced cricketer Lionel Cann could receive additional punishment from local cricket's governing body for breaching terms of a one-year probation imposed by the International Cricket Council (ICC), The Royal Gazette can reveal.

The temperamental Cann was slapped with a two-game one-day international (ODI) ban for showing "serious dissent" representing the Island in a one dayer against Kenya in Nairobi after being dismissed for a golden duck - an incident that followed close on the heels of last August's heated verbal spat with the Netherlands' Edgar Schiferli in Amsterdam which earned him a one-year probabtion for the Level One offence.

Bermuda Cricket Board (BCB) executives met earlier this week to discuss the issue and have already decided what further course of action to take. But when contacted yesterday BCB president Reggie Pearman said the Board will not comment on the matter until the player had been officially notified of the their intentions.

After being given out leg before during last month's second ODI with Kenya, Cann - who was summoned home by local cricket's governing body - stood his ground and only left the field when forced to do so by skipper Irving Romaine before smashing a trash bin on his way to the dressing room, where he could later be heard shouting.

The St. David's player/coach now faces a potential ban from domestic cricket, should the Board deem it necessary.

In 2004 Southampton Rangers batsman Dion Stovell was slapped with a four-month ban for also standing his ground while representing Bermuda on tour.

Stovell, the first Bermudian batsman to score a double century at all levels on the international stage, stood his ground after being given out for a catch behind, arguing the ball had instead come off his helmet.

The cricketer served a one-game ban on tour but on return to the Island was slapped with additional punishment while his subsequent appeal fell on deaf ears.
