Australian cricket board slaps ban on three players

Hayley Jensen and Corinne Hall, who play in the national women’s league and women’s domestic Twenty20 tournament, were both given two-year bans with 18 months suspended. Jensen had admitted placing one bet on the result of the men’s test match between Australia and New Zealand in Brisbane last November. Hall had made two bets relating to two matches in the men’s domestic one-day competition in 2015-16. “Jensen and Hall are prohibited from participating in any form of cricket or cricket-related event for a period of six months until 21 October 2016,” CA said.
