Australia have banned women's cricketer Piepa Cleary for six months, with another 18 months suspended, for placing bets on a men's Test match between Australia and New Zealand in November.
The 19-year-old Cleary, who plays for Western Australia state, had placed six bets totalling A$15.50 ($11.10) on the match at Adelaide Oval.
"CA has imposed a 24-month period of ineligibility on Cleary of which 18 months are suspended on condition that she commits no further offences under the (Anti-Corruption) Code," Cricket Australia said in a media release on Thursday.
"She is also required to participate in anti-corruption player education programs delivered by CA in future."
The penalty bans Cleary from all domestic and international cricket, including cricket-related functions and events.
