England's white-ball captain Harry Brook and promising player Jacob Bethell have been cautioned by the independent Cricket Regulator after an altercation with a nightclub bouncer in Wellington, New Zealand last year. The incident came to light after England's 4-1 Ashes defeat in Australia. Initially, Brook claimed he was alone during the incident but later admitted to lying to protect his teammates. The Regulator confirmed that both players acknowledged breaching Regulation 3.2 of the ECB's Professional Conduct rules, which prohibits conduct that could bring the game into disrepute. As a result, they received a warning but no further punishment. Fast bowler Josh Tongue, who was also involved, will not face any action. Following the Ashes, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) decided to retain head coach Brendon McCullum and managing director Rob Key despite the disappointing series outcome.
