Overview
- Reports say Brook was refused entry to a Wellington club on October 31, was struck by a bouncer, was not injured, and self-reported the incident to team management.
- The clash happened hours before the third ODI, which he captained, scoring six in a defeat that sealed a 3-0 series loss to New Zealand.
- Media detail a sanction of about £30,000 and a final warning, with the ECB confirming the case was handled through a formal and confidential process.
- Brook remains white-ball captain and Test vice-captain and is set to lead England in Sri Lanka later this month and at the T20 World Cup.
- The revelation has sharpened scrutiny of team culture following a 4-1 Ashes defeat and a Noosa break, with an ECB review under way and Rob Key having addressed drinking footage involving Brook and Jacob Bethell.
