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

England white-ball captain Harry Brook and allrounder 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.
