- Muslim player Feroze Khushi sprayed with alcohol
- Incident described as unthinking over-exuberance
Essex have admitted the celebrations that followed their victory in the Bob Willis Trophy on Sunday did not meet the county’s “inclusive values” after Feroze Khushi, a young Muslim cricketer, was sprayed with alcohol on the balcony at Lord’s.
Khushi, a 21-year-old batsman who was 12th man for the final against Somerset after four appearances during the group stage, was photographed recoiling as his teammate Will Buttleman poured beer over him during the post-match celebrations.
