All-rounder Andrew Symonds faces disciplinary action from Cricket Australia for his "outspoken and inaccurate comments" in an unpublished newspaper column in which he panned the Board for not allowing the players join the Indian Premier League (IPL)

+"In the contract there are requirements relating to public comment and the obligation to not disparage various parties and also it's a contractual issue," Young said.

Young said 'The Sunday Telegraph' had emailed him the column with only a 30-minute deadline to get it approved by CA lawyers before going to print.

"Had the column been received in the morning, all parties could have worked through the issue... The problem we had with his comment yesterday is it's clearly based on a complete lack of understanding of the detail of what's going on.

Symonds had criticised administrators for not allowing the players to sign with the IPL.

"We can't quite work out what's going on with the chiefs at Cricket Australia, who seem to be trying to run interference by putting up a heap of red tape," Symonds wrote in his column.

"It's my understanding Cricket Australia are trying to say that Aussie players can't play for teams who are sponsored by competitors to Cricket Australia sponsors.
