England captain Harry Brook has admitted that the recent media spotlight on him over a nightclub controversy has been "horrendous". The 26-year-old cricketer, who is set to lead his side in their T20 World Cup campaign against Nepal this week, says he's learned more about leadership from the experience.
The incident happened in early January when Brook was "clocked" by a bouncer at a nightclub before captaining England against New Zealand. He later admitted that other players were present during the incident. The cricket regulator has launched an investigation into Brook's conduct.
Brook is now hoping to move on from the situation and focus on his cricket career. Despite the controversy, he says it hasn't affected him significantly as a cricketer. His England team is considered one of the contenders for the World Cup behind India, with whom they are in the same group.

like how did he end up getting caught by a bouncer at a nightclub ?? did he just walk into that situation or was there more to it ?? and why is this happening now just before the t20 world cup ??? isn't cricket all about being focused on the game 
i mean if harry brook is saying he's learned more about leadership from this experience then idk how that works 
maybe its a good thing for him or something
. This incident has got everyone talking and it's awesome to see how Harry Brook is handling it. He's not letting the drama define him, he's more focused on his game now than ever before. As they say "the best way out of a problem is through it" 
.
. Only thing I'm curious about is how his teammates reacted - were they all cool with it or did you feel like they were sticking up for him?
. Like, I get it, you're a celebrity cricketer and the media's gonna hound you for everything... but does he have to own up to it now? Can't he just move on already? 
. And honestly, 26 is kinda young to be having this kind of drama 
!
- who wouldn't? Being clocked by a bouncer at a nightclub and having the whole thing go viral is just a nightmare scenario 
. But honestly, I think it's kinda cool that he's trying to turn this into a learning experience 
. Leadership isn't always easy, and it sounds like Brook has had a bit of a crash course already 
. And let's be real, the T20 World Cup is a huge deal - if anyone can bounce back from this, it's England's squad 
. I guess it's good that he's learned something from the experience, but come on, 26 and already dealing with this kind of stuff? 
Anyway, hope England does well in the World Cup – they've got a solid team 
. seriously though, brook seems pretty chill about it, which is more than i can say for some people when they get caught doing something silly. anyway, good on him for taking the high road and focusing on his game. btw, does anyone know if nepal's cricketers are also getting a free pass to party in england? 
I think it's awesome that Harry Brook is taking this experience and learning from it! You can tell he's a strong leader who isn't gonna let a little drama like that bring him down 
- let's see what they're capable of!
. But honestly, it sounds like he's coming out of it pretty okay. The fact that other players were there too kinda makes it a team thing 
. And yeah, cricket is his first love, so I hope he can just focus on that 
, but I guess it's gotta be worth it if you're captain and all 
.
and whats with all these clubs doing bouncers anyway? can we just go back to playing cricket already?
