Proteas left-arm seamer Wayne Parnell will miss the Warriors' SuperSport Series cricket match against the Highveld Lions after being slapped with a one-match suspension.

The competition leaders Warriors, who face the Lions in East London starting on Thursday, released a team 12-man squad on Wednesday, which did not include the 20-year-old Parnell.

They did release a statement that said: "Wayne Parnell has not been selected due to disciplinary reasons but will be available for selection for the next match. The issue has been dealt with internally and no further comment will be made on the matter," read the statement.

It is alleged that Parnell broke a team curfew by staying out late on Saturday night after the third day's play of the SuperSport Series match against the Dolphins. The Warriors completed a 43-run the following morning.

Parnell's spot in the side will be filled by Border all-rounder Darryl Brown, who played first-class cricket for the Warriors last season.

Captain Davy Jacobs will also miss the fixture as his wife Lizelle is expected to give birth to their first child on Wednesday. Johan Botha will skipper the team in his absence.

Opener Michael Smith replaces Davy Jacobs with Ashwell Prince expected to move down the order to number four. Arno Jacobs will keep wicket.

The 12-man squad is: Johan Botha (capt), Ashwell Prince, Arno Jacobs, Colin Ingram, Jon-Jon Smuts, Siya Ntshona, Makhaya Ntini,Michael Smith, Lonwabo Tsotsobe, Darryl Brown, Justin Kreusch, Juan
