Revealing Lineup an Hour Early Brings a 3-Month Suspension

Emily Smith, a professional cricket player for Hobart Hurricanes in Australia, posted the lineup for her team's match with the Sydney Thunder on Instagram an hour before the official time. She was suspended for three months. The punishment is related to betting. The match that Smith improperly posted about was rained out. James Pattinson was also suspended on Sunday for one game for using an offensive language in a match. He used a homophobic slur. Alistair Nicholson, the chief executive of the Australian Cricketers’ Association, said Smith's post was a joke about her place in the batting order.
