England’s Brook, Bethell let off with warning over NZ nightclub altercation

England white-ball captain Harry Brook and all-rounder Jacob ​Bethell have been let off ‌with a warning by the independent Cricket Regulator after an ​investigation into an altercation ​with a nightclub bouncer in ⁠New Zealand late last ​year.

Brook, who had initially said he ​was alone in the altercation in Wellington after being denied entry ​into a nightclub, admitted in ​January that he had lied to protect ‌his ⁠teammates.

The Regulator said on Wednesday that both Brook and Bethell had accepted they ​had breached ​the ⁠professional conduct regulations.

Fast bowler Josh Tongue was ​also present during the ​incident.

“No ⁠further action is to be taken by the Regulator ⁠in ​relation to Josh ​Tongue,” the Regulator added.
