Ball tampering allegations to be investigated

1:03 pm on 24 December 2009

The Central Districts cricket coach Dermot Reeve has been ordered to appear at a code of conduct hearing over ball tampering allegations he made against Auckland player and England international Ravi Bopara.

New Zealand Cricket CEO Justin Vaughan says he's convened the hearing to determine whether the comments made by Reeve, brought the game into disrepute.

The hearing will be held early in the New Year.
