Matt Prior calls for a ‘drinking culture’ conversation in English cricket

The Telegraph published Brooke’s story, external Shortly after England lost the final Test in Sydney by five wickets.

Prior said it was “ridiculous” that the England players were out the night before the match.

“If this were an English footballer, there would be a lot to pay,” he said.

“There will be. There’s no doubt about that.”

The European Central Bank had earlier issued a statement from CEO Richard Gould, in which he said that a review of the tour would be conducted, including the behavior of the players.

Coach Brendon McCullum has scrapped a midnight curfew on England players, which had been in place since the 2017-18 tour of Australia.

This curfew came into effect after England wicket-keeper Jonny Bairstow was accused of punching Australia striker Cameron Bancroft in a Perth pub.

“It’s not just about Harry Brook, it’s a cultural thing. For me it’s about what are the expectations of these players in the dressing room? What does it mean to be an English cricketer?” Pryor said.

“In the dressing room, we wanted to humanize the team, be the hardest-working cricket team in the world, be highly skilled, but also be human.

“This current English group, whether it’s white ball or red ball, what is their culture?

“What does playing cricket mean for England?”
