Chris Gayle has been warned about his conduct following an interview with a female reporter at the Big Bash.
The West Indian opener smacked a brilliant 41 off 15 balls for Melbourne Renegades in their victory over Hobart Hurricanes on Monday.
He was then interviewed by TEN Sports' Mel McLaughlin at the side of the pitch and asked her out for a drink, on live television.
Big Bash chief Anthony Everard said: "I heard Chris' comments and they're disrespectful and simply inappropriate.
"We'll certainly be talking to him and the Renegades about it. This league is all about its appeal to kids, families and females. There's just no place in the BBL or, for that matter, cricket anywhere, for that sort of behaviour."
Andrew Flintoff, who is in Australia working as a commentator, tweeted: "Well played @mel Mclaughlin!! Big fan of @henrygayle but made himself look a bit of a chop there."
Stuart Coventry, chief executive of the Renegades, added: "I heard Chris' comments and we agree with both Cricket Australia and Channel 10 that they're disrespectful and simply inappropriate.
"We'll certainly be talking to him in association with Cricket Australia about it. The Melbourne Renegades is all about its appeal to kids, families and females. There's just no place for that sort of behaviour."
