indianexpress.comEngland's cricket captain apologised to his teammates before returning to lead the side in the third Test against New Zealand at Trent Bridge. The captain and a pace bowler were unavailable for the second Test after an investigation into a midnight curfew breach and an incident in a London nightclub. That match ended in a 253-run defeat for England.
A Cricket Regulator investigation found both players blameless of violent conduct. The captain resumed leadership for the third Test, which begins on Thursday. Three players made their debuts in the second Test while he was absent.
"That was one of the first things I had to do as a captain," the captain said. "It affected Joe, it affected the squad, it affects the people outside the playing environment." "It would be stupid and naive for me not to acknowledge that and address that," he added. "You need to be big enough and man enough to be able to take that upon your shoulders."
