The Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) have expelled a member and suspended two others after concluding their disciplinary process into the altercation with Australia’s cricketers in the Lord’s Long Room during the lunch break of the fifth day of the Lord’s Test match of the 2023 Ashes.
Alex Carey’s controversial hit on Jonny Bairstow on July 2, 2023 polarized opinion around the world in the months that followed. However, there was a spontaneous response beforehand.
At lunch on the final day, as the Australian players passed through the Lord Long Room on their way back to the changing rooms, some MCC members insulted them.
Usman Khawaja and David Warner got into an altercation with members and had to be taken away by security. Cricket Australia subsequently issued a statement calling on the MCC to investigate the incident.
