The Sydney Sixers have confirmed they will appeal against a four-match ban handed to star Tom Curran for intimidating an umpire.<\/p>\n

The Englishman was charged by the match referee for a code of conduct breach stemming from a pre-match incident against the Hobart Hurricanes this month. An umpire allegedly had to take evasive action to avoid a collision with the player.<\/p>\n

The Big Bash League commissioner found that, during a practice run-up, Curran ran onto part of the pitch in breach of a direction from the umpire not to do so.<\/p>\n

Subsequently, the BBL said Curran moved to the opposite end of the pitch to attempt another practice run.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe umpire took position next to the stumps, blocking Curran from approaching the pitch and gestured to Curran to move away from the pitch,\u201d the BBL statement read.<\/p>\n

\u201cCurran was seen in the footage gesturing to the umpire to move away from the pitch. Curran then attempted to perform a practice run-up and ran at pace straight towards the umpire who stood in the bowling crease facing Curran. The umpire stepped to his right to avoid the risk of collision.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sixers head Rachael Haynes said Curran and the club would vigorously appeal the sanction.<\/p>\n

\u201cTom and the club maintain that Tom did not knowingly or intentionally intimidate a match official, and on legal advice, we will exercise our right to appeal the decision,\u201d she said in a statement on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will support Tom during this period and look forward to him returning to the field.\u201d<\/p>\n

The club said there would be no further comment until the matter had concluded.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Curran\u2019s fellow England international Chris Jordan says the sky is the limit for Aaron Hardie, praising the Australian\u2019s special talents with both bat and ball.<\/p>\n

Jordan, playing for the Hobart Hurricanes, cracked the equal fourth-fastest BBL half-century at Optus Stadium on Wednesday night, needing just 17 balls to reach the milestone.<\/p>\n

Hardie (85 not out off 45 balls) was also a destructive force, cracking four fours and five sixes to help guide the Perth Scorchers to a nine-wicket victory.<\/p>\n

Jordan saw Hardie close up while playing for the Scorchers in the 2019-20 summer, and they\u2019ve also been part of the Surrey set-up together in England.<\/p>\n

Hardie has played one ODI and six T20s for Australia, and the 24-year-old is tipped to break into the Test side down the track.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe sky\u2019s the limit for him really,\u201d Jordan said. \u201cI had the pleasure of playing with him when I played for the Scorchers a few years ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven then you could see his natural ability with ball and bat and in the field. He took over the captaincy as well when Ashton Turner went off [injured on Wednesday night].<\/p>\n

\u201cSo you can see what everyone here in WA thinks of him, and then he obviously backed it up with a top batting performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd he can bowl you some overs as well. So that type of talent \u2013 those type of all-rounders in the world \u2013 are definitely priceless.\u201d<\/p>\n
