Maharashtra batter Ankit Bawne has been handed a one-match suspension for showing dissent during a Ranji Trophy match. The decision was conveyed to the team ahead of their sixth-round Group A clash against Baroda in Nashik, reported ESPNcricinfo.

The incident in question occurred during Maharashtra's fifth-round game against Services, prior to the white-ball season. Bawne, serving as the stand-in captain, refused to leave the field after being declared out despite clear evidence suggesting the ball had bounced before Shubham Rohilla completed the catch at slip off spinner Amit Shukla. With no Decision Review System (DRS) available as the match was livestreamed rather than televised, Bawne was unable to challenge the umpire's decision.
