DOLPHINS fast bowler Ayavuya Myoli is unhappy at the way teammate Robert Frylinck’s disciplinary hearing for punching him was handled by the franchise, and refuses to drop the assault charges he laid with the police against the allrounder.

This is according to a source close to the case, who gave the impression that the hearing into the matter had the hallmarks of a whitewash in Frylinck’s favour.

Frylinck was suspended on January 24 for ending an argument with Myoli about underusing him in a match against Boland with a punch to the face. The incident occurred when the Dolphins were returning from a seven-wicket defeat to Boland in Paarl in a three-day Cup game.

Frylinck’s suspension was lifted last Thursday, but Myoli will not let the matter rest despite Dolphins CE Pete de Wet declaring the matter had been closed. It is alleged Frylinck arrived with a lawyer after a prior agreement with Myoli and witnesses Brandon Scullard and Calvin Savage that there would not be legal representation at the hearing.

It has also been confirmed that none of the parties testified at the hearing.

Another source said Myoli was also asked to drop the assault charge he had laid with the police, something he has refused to do.

"It was agreed between the parties that the details of the sanctions will remain confidential.

"Frylinck will be eligible for future selection in representative teams of KZN Cricket," said de Wet. "Chaired by an independent labour expert, the hearing was conducted in line with KZN Cricket policies and resulted in appropriate sanctions being implemented."

Neither Myoli nor Frylinck, who were omitted from the Dolphins’ one-day game against the Lions on Friday, were available for comment.
