Harry Brook Apologizes for New Zealand Nightclub Altercation After ECB Fine and Final Warning

He remains white-ball captain during an ECB review of behaviour on the Ashes tour.

Overview

  • Brook said he was sorry for behaviour that brought embarrassment to himself and England, issuing a public apology on Thursday.
  • Reports say the incident occurred on October 31 in Wellington when he was denied entry to a club and struck by a bouncer.
  • The ECB said the matter went through a formal, confidential process that resulted in an approximately £30,000 fine and a final warning.
  • Brook reported the episode to team management at the time and was not stripped of the captaincy.
  • He is set to lead England on the Sri Lanka white-ball tour and at the T20 World Cup as the ECB reviews touring culture, with social-media clips of player drinking already under scrutiny.
