England white-ball captain Harry Brook admitted supporters have "every right to be annoyed" after a nightclub altercation in Wellington before the Ashes. He was fined and warned for the incident, which occurred the night before a one-day international England lost. Brook, now leading the team in Sri Lanka, called it a "terrible mistake" and apologized to fans and teammates.

The 26-year-old explained he was alone when he was "clocked" by a bouncer after going out for food. He reported the incident to management during the game and faced the possibility of being sacked. Brook rejected claims of a drinking culture but confirmed a midnight curfew is now in place for the squad, a group decision aimed at improving professionalism.

While Brook was England's second-highest run-scorer in the Ashes with 358, his form was below par. He insists the incident didn't affect his cricket but acknowledges he must regain trust. With Test captain Ben Stokes having dealt with similar adversity, Brook now focuses on leading England's white-ball campaign and the upcoming T20 World Cup.
