Cricket Australia had charged Curran on Thursday with a level-three offence under clause 2.17 in the code of conduct.

Cricket Australia confirmed in a statement on Sunday that the Sixers's appeal against the English international all-rounder's four-match ban was dismissed with the original sanction to stand. "Umpires are part of the lifeblood of cricket and it is essential they are respected and appreciated by players at all levels of the game," CA's General Manager, Big Bash League's Alistair Dobson said.
