Leicestershire Face Relegation After 27-Point Penalty for Pitch Breach
Leicestershire County Cricket Club face possible relegation after a 27‑point penalty for pitch‑regulation breaches in their August victory over Glamorgan. The sanction, which includes loss of the 19 points from that win, an eight‑point penalty and a £5,000 fine, drops the Foxes to the bottom of the Division One table as they chase a win against Hampshire to stay up.
