Craig Overton: ECB defends handling of disciplinary case

The England and Wales Cricket Board has defended its disciplinary process following a case involving Somerset bowler Craig Overton. In September he got a two-game ban for allegedly swearing at Pakistan-born Sussex batsman Ashar Zaidi and telling him to "get back to your own country". However, Yorkshire's Andrew Gale missed four games after a similar exchange with South African Ashwell Prince. Coach Jason Gillespie says Yorkshire will probably "seek clarification". New details of the Overton case emerged in a report in the Guardian. All ECB cases are handled by an independent body, the Cricket Discipline Commission.
