Andre Adams, the New Zealand allrounder, has been suspended for one domestic match after assaulting a player in a match this week.
Adams was charged with physical assault after grabbing the helmet of Bevan Griggs, the Central Districts batsman, and shaking the grill which in turn cut Griggs's lip.
He was suspended by a code of conduct commissioner in Auckland and will miss their last round match of the State Championship next week.
He has until tomorrow afternoon to appeal against the decision.
