Loots Bosman, the South Africa opening batsman, has been suspended for one domestic match after being found guilty of "unbecoming or detrimental" conduct by Cricket South Africa.

Bosman was withdrawn from South Africa's World Twenty20 squad with a back injury, but he angrily denied he was anything other than fit to play. In the newspaper Beeld, he accused Mickey Arthur, the national coach, of lying.

The reports said the first specialist Bosman visited had said he should recover in time to play in the tournament. A second opinion recommended that he did not play for six weeks. Arthur found Bosman's reaction and comments to the whole affair "shocking", but defended himself and the procedures he followed.

"I have the findings of the leading neurosurgeon in the land. How can I argue against that?" he said. "Does Loots not realise that there is a possibility that he could be paralysed?"

Bosman is suspended suspended for the Eagles' match against the Dolphins in Durban from October 11 to 14.
