Incident in Long Room led to steps being taken to control cricket fans
An English cricket fan’s life ban following an incident involving Australia players during the Ashes Test at Lord’s in 2023 may be overturned, despite the hefty sanction that was initially handed out for his “completely unacceptable” behaviour in the Long Room.
The MCC immediately suspended three members on the day of the incident, after the behaviour – which followed the dismissal of Jonny Bairstow at a crucial time during the match – was caught on camera and called out by Pat Cummins after the match.
