The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has suspended Azeem Rafiq from all cricket under its jurisdiction for a month.



The ban follows the England under-19 captain's foul-mouthed tirade on Twitter against manager John Abrahams.



The Yorkshire off-spinner vented his fury at Abrahams after he was dropped for the second Test against Sri Lanka for disciplinary reasons.
