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

LONDON (Agencies): 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.
