England's debacle in the 2025-26 season of The Ashes is not going to be forgotten easily, and the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) also isn't in any mood to brush it under the carpet.

England’s Harry Brook has apologized for clashing with a nightclub bouncer in October during the tour of New Zealand that preceded the Ashes series that Australia comprehensively won 4-1.
