South Australia have suspended allrounder Dan Christian for repeated incidents of damaging changerooms when dismissed.

Christian will miss SA’s Sheffield Shield game against Victoria in Melbourne starting on Friday after being banned for ill discipline.

SA Cricket Association director of cricket Jamie Cox said Christian had damaged changerooms on three separate occasions after being dismissed this season.

“Everyone experiences pressure and disappointment at work, but that is not an excuse for bad tempered behaviour that includes damaging property,” Cox said in a statement on Tuesday.
