Overview
- Reports revealed Brook was denied entry to a Wellington nightclub on October 31 before an altercation in which a bouncer struck him.
- Brook issued a public apology accepting his conduct was unacceptable, while the ECB said the matter went through a formal confidential process.
- Sanctions include a fine of about £30,000 and a final warning, yet he remains England’s white-ball captain and Test vice-captain.
- He self-reported the incident, was not injured, and played the next day, scoring six in a defeat that sealed a 3-0 ODI series loss to New Zealand.
- The disclosure follows a 4-1 Ashes defeat and questions over a Noosa drinking break, with a broader ECB review under way as Brook is set to lead the Sri Lanka white-ball tour and the T20 World Cup.
