ECB penalise two county players

Billy Godleman and Stuart Meaker received ECB penalties

Middlesex batsman Billy Godleman and Surrey seamer Stuart Meaker have been penalised under the England and Wales Cricket Board's disciplinary code.

Both men have been issued with three penalty points which will remain on their records for two years.

Godleman was guilty of using obscene language or gestures during a second XI game against Gloucestershire in July.

Meaker was reported for bowling an accidental high full-pitched delivery during a game against Yorkshire.

Players who incur nine penalty points face an automatic ban by the ECB.
