South African opening batsman Herschelle Gibbs was arrested in the early hours this morning for drink-driving in Cape Town, reports said on Friday.
Jones said the man, reported by the SAPA news agency and state SABC radio as being Gibbs, was pulled over for speeding.
Gibbs was released on 500 rand ($62) bail, and would appear in Cape Town magistrates' court on June 27. The South African, who was left out of the Test squad currently on tour in India but remains a regular in the One-day team, plays for the Cape Town-based Cobras franchise.
Gibbs was recently signed up to play for Hyderabad in the inaugural Indian Premier League, a multi-million dollar Twenty20 event which begins on April 18, in a deal worth $575,000.
