The long-delayed disciplinary hearing into the pitch battle involving players from Aston Rowant and Basingstoke will be held tonight.

The Home Counties Premier League Division 1 match was interrupted by a fracas involving Rowant's Australian seam bowler Tim Miles and Basingstoke batsman Dean Nurse.

Decisions at the league’s original hearing into the case had to be rescinded because neither club was invited to attend, as their rules required.

A new hearing, in front of a different committee, was rescheduled for last week, but the league’s ability to call such a meeting was challenged.

Now, following talks with the England & Wales Cricket Board, the meeting will go ahead tonight – nearly two months after the original incident took place on Saturday, August 22.
