An amateur cricketer has been banned for two years for his role in the 'Clicky Ponting' cheating scandal that made headlines across the globe.

Brian Devine, fielding at slip, clicked his fingers to mimic the noise of the ball taking the edge of the bat.

Devine, playing for Saltburn second XI, was filmed in a North Yorkshire and South Durham Cricket League (NYSD) Division Two match against Norton in July.
