"More than three months on from Brook being punched by a nightclub bouncer in New Zealand, hours before captaining England, the saga took on fresh legs when the Yorkshireman claimed to have been on his own, only for the Daily Telegraph to uncover he was accompanied by Jacob Bethell and Josh Tongue. The matter is now being investigated by the Cricket Regulator, preventing Brook from elaborating on any elements of the night in question,"
"Brook issued an apology via a statement for lying about being on his own in an effort to shield his team-mates from blame but speaking for the first time since that development, he is eager to move on. Brook revealed his agent and close confidante Brydon Carse have been especially helpful during the controversy, while he plans to take time after the T20 World Cup to reflect on what happened."
Harry Brook seeks to move on after revelations about his conduct in Wellington raised questions about his leadership ahead of the T20 World Cup. He initially claimed to have been alone when punched by a nightclub bouncer, but reporting showed he was accompanied by Jacob Bethell and Josh Tongue. The Cricket Regulator is investigating the incident. The ECB fined Brook and issued a final warning. Brook apologised for lying to protect teammates, said he made a mistake, credited agent Brydon Carse for support, plans to reflect after the tournament, and acknowledged increased responsibility as captain.
