The South Australia player, 22, committed the offence during a Futures League game with Victoria on 14 March.
A CA statement read: "Worrall scratched an image of a penis and testicles into a wicket being prepared for a grade cricket final that coming weekend."
Worrall pleaded guilty to the charge and will miss either two four-day matches or four one-day or T20 games.
He disputed the punishment but the penalty was upheld and he has 48 hours to appeal.

A very interesting programme and good to hear from Trott direct rather than speculation. It will be interesting to see if he is selected for England again as quickly as he wishes in May. Whilst I am not un-sympathetic to his plight I do feel this would be a tad early.
It would appear his problems had no real similarities to that of Trestothick and would have to agree with Vaughan assessment that we were mislead to the exact nature of Trott's difficulties.

^^ Trott's interview was full of contradictions,it was his own Coach Andy Flower that he had problems of a similar nature before that had been managed without any major disruptions.I don't see this as a case of a con,more an issue were Trott doesn't want the label of mental-health & it's many guises to be pinned to him.

^ Well as you said lot of contradictions. What ever the cause and however Trott may wish to label it I do still feel that May is a little early to be making an England come back. I suspect Warwick supporters will be pleased though as he will clearly be focused on making some big runs for them in April.

England have changed their ODI uniform - yet again.

It's now an orange top with dark blue trousers. It was in the last series a few week ago they wore the all red uniform. And before that they wore the red top and dark blue combination, before that all blue, before that light blue.

The kit change is only done for purely commercial reasons - selling replica kit is now big business in cricket. Why do I get the feeling that the hard-pressed followers are being fleeced ?

The 2014 English season has started with the traditional MCC v Champion County - ie, Durham. It's being played in the UAE.

KP will make up the money he lost on his England Central Contract by somehow trying to play for Surrey in the T20 & commute 5,000 miles to perform in the Caribbean Premier League T20 competition.

And also his commitment to the IPL. He'll be well travelled and very tired.
