Cricket may have football-style yellow cards

The England and Wales Cricket Board and the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), custodians of the laws of cricket, will on Wednesday night discuss whether to introduce the innovation in the next county season.

"Jack Simmons and Mike Griffith, the chairmen of the ECB and MCC cricket committees are very concerned and, if the trials work, would want this as part of the first-class game, although much cricket at that level is self-policed," ECB chairman Giles Clarke was quoted as saying by The Times.
