3 min readJan 31, 2026 02:30 PM IST The ghosts of the Wellington nightclub brawl refuse to leave Harry Brook alone, even though the incident is almost three months old now. Just days after the England white-ball captain, and the deputy of the Test side, apologised for being “clocked” by a nightclub bouncer on the white-ball tour of New Zealand, he admitted that he had been economical with the truth, and had lied that there were no other teammates involved. “I accept responsibility for my actions in Wellington and acknowledge that others were present that evening,” Brook said in a statement after the victory in the first T20I against Sri Lanka in Pallekele. “I regret my previous comments and my intention was to protect my teammates from being drawn into a situation that arose as a result of my own decisions.” The latest apology comes in the wake of a report in The Telegraph that Jacob Bethell and Josh Tongue were also under investigation for their role in the November 1 incident, on the night …

After stirring debates about the pitches England were presented in the ODI series, captain Harry Brook annihilated Sri Lanka in the series decider at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo with a 57-ball hundred and a WWE-inspired celebration that grabbed eyeballs, only weeks after a drinking controversy was revealed during the 2025-26 Ashes tour to Australia. Walking in to bat in the 32nd over, Brook joined Joe Root and played a rapid knock laced with nine sixes. The pair forged an unbroken 189-run partnership with Root slamming his 20th ODI century. After Brook marked his century, he celebrated by stripping off his batting gloves, clashing them together, and tilting them toward his mouth as if taking a drink, referring to the iconic ring entrance by WWE legend “Stone Cold” Steve Austin. Austin would catch two beer cans tossed from ringside, smash them together in a foam-filled salute, and guzzle them down to the delight of the crowd. Brook confirmed post-match that it was indeed a nod to Austin. “It was just more about celebrating tonight …

Published by Webster

England was in a strong position after the first day of the final Test against Sri Lanka at the Kia Oval. As it looked the white-wash was inevitable as despite the batting collapse Sri Lanka reduced to 5/93 and took a 62-run lead. However, in the second innings like a few times before the England batting collapsed trying to be ultra-aggressive under the new regime and were bundled out for mere 156. Michael Vaughan was critical of the side’s approach. “I felt that they disrespected Test cricket and disrespected Sri Lanka in the third Test by being over-aggressive with both bat and in their field placings,” he wrote in his column for The Telegraph. “England have made a bit of a habit of becoming a bit complacent after a good period, I think of the start of the Ashes, or earlier this year in Rajkot and I hope it serves as a wake-up call for the tougher Tests that lie in wait in 2025,” he added.
