Hashim Amla will miss the Dolphins' next SuperSport Series against the Warriors, after being handed a one-match ban for showing dissent during South Africa A's defeat against England at Potchefstroom last month.
Amla's punishment follows a guilty plea at a Cricket South Africa disciplinary hearing on Monday, and means he will not be able to finetune his preparations for next week's first Test during this week's round of domestic matches.
Amla has been picked in a 15-man South Africa squad to face England in the first Test at Centurion, which starts three days after the Dolphins' fixture.
He was reported by umpire Brian Jerling for dissent, and CSA disciplinary commissioner Michael Kuper said in his report: "The breach is a serious one aggravated by the fact that it occurred during a tour match and was committed by the captain - who should have set an example."
