Somerset bowler Craig Overton should apologise for allegedly swearing at then Sussex player Ashar Zaidi during a match, says the Pakistan-born batsman.
Overton, who allegedly also told 34-year-old Zaidi to "get back to your own country", received a two-game ban.
Zaidi did not hear the alleged comments which were reported by non-striker Michael Vardy and umpire Alex Wharf.
Overton has denied the claims but Zaidi said: "For the sake of the game he should apologise to me."
Somerset have said the player, along with the county's officials, had written an apology to Sussex and it was accepted.
