Harry Brook Apologizes for New Zealand Nightclub Incident, Retains England Captaincy

England white-ball captain Harry Brook apologized for an altercation with a nightclub bouncer in Wellington, New Zealand, in October last year, acknowledging his mistake and the embarrassment caused. Brook, who was reportedly under the influence of alcohol, was fined £40,000 and received a final warning from the England Cricket Board. He expressed gratitude for retaining his captaincy despite fears of being sacked and pledged to regain his teammates' trust ahead of the upcoming Sri Lanka series and the 2026 T20 World Cup.
