# Cricket: Lions Cricket and all-rounder Beyers Swanepoel have agreed to part ways with immediate effect, after he controversially abandoned a domestic final mid-match to catch a flight to England. The 27-year-old left the field with seven overs remaining during the One-Day Cup final against the Titans at the Wanderers on March 29. His premature departure without approval left his team with only ten players in a match the Lions ultimately lost by three wickets. Swanepoel is playing for Worcestershire in the English County season.
