January 27th 2009 09:38
Andrew Symonds will face a Cricket Australia hearing on Thursday. Cricket Australia has charged Andrew Symonds with making detrimental public comment after he made derogatory remarks about New Zealand player Brendon McCullum in a radio interview last week.
Symonds will face a Cricket Australia hearing on Thursday to explain his conduct during the radio interview last week.
The charge of making detrimental public comments is a breach of Cricket Australia's code of behaviour but Symonds' contract will not be under threat.
The maximum fine under the code is $5,750. A player can also be suspended, but Symonds is not currently part of the Australian squad.
The Queensland all-rounder had knee surgery last month and is expected to make his return to domestic cricket in this week's Sheffield Shield game against Western Australia.
During last week's interview, Symonds was slurring his speech and made uncomplimentary remarks about McCullum.
