Harry Brook has landed in fresh controversy after the ECB found him guilty in an internal investigation, slapping him with a heavy fine just days after the series humiliation
Before England’s New Zealand tour ended, Harry Brook was involved in a heated argument with a nightclub bouncer in Wellington, hours before the third ODI
Reports say Brook was denied entry to the nightclub due to excessive drinking, which sparked the confrontation. The incident occurred shortly before a crucial match
The England Cricket Board conducted a detailed probe and found Brook guilty. He was fined £30,000 (approx ₹36 lakh) However, he retained his ODI and T20 captaincy
Brook admitted his mistake and issued a public apology, saying: “Playing for England is an honour. I regret my actions and promise it won’t happen again.”
Brook isn’t alone. Other England players faced criticism for off-field behaviour, with poor discipline adding to on-field failures, including a 0-3 ODI loss vs NZ and 4-1 Ashes defeat
