O'Brien reprimanded for outburst

The ECB has confirmed that Niall O'Brien, the Kent wicketkeeper, has received a reprimand under the ECB's discipline code following an incident during Kent's County Championship match against Durham on 19-23 April.

O'Brien was reported by the umpires, Peter Willey and Allan Jones, for a level one breach of the code, which involves using language that is obscene, offensive or insulting.

The penalty remains on O'Brien's record for a period of two years. Any further level one breach during that period will result in an automatic three penalty points.
