CA Code of Conduct Senior Commissioner Gordon Lewis AM determined Scorchers be fined the minimum penalty of $150,000, with $145,000 suspended pending no further breach of the team retainer pool rules for five years,&quot; CA said in a statement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In reaching this decision, it was taken into account that Scorchers self-reported the salary cap breach to CA.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Cricket Australia&#39;s Head of Integrity, Iain Roy said: &quot;Following a thorough investigation, we understand that this was not a purposeful breaching of the rules by the Perth Scorchers, and this has been taken into account for the purpose of fixing an appropriate penalty.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;We do however take a proactive, zero-tolerance approach to maintaining the integrity of our sport and this includes any breaches of salary caps in the BBL.&quot;&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
