Luton born England cricketer Monty Panesar is facing an inquiry from his Sussex County Cricket Club after an incident at a Brighton nightclub on Monday evening. A Sussex Police spokesman said: “A 31-year-old man received a fixed penalty notice for being drunk and disorderly after being seen urinating in public near the Shooshh Club in King’s Road Arches, Brighton, around 4.13am on Monday.” The 31-year-old cricketer’s spokesman has since apologised on his behalf: “Monty would like to apologise unreservedly for any offence caused.” The spinner, a former student of Stopsley High School, was selected in the squad for the third Ashes Test at Old Trafford but did not play in the match that secured the Ashes for England.
A statement from his club said: “The matter is under full investigation and the club will make no further comment at this stage.”
