- Alcohol poured over Muslim player on pavilion balcony
- Westley says ‘we are disappointed we let this happen’
The Essex captain, Tom Westley, has apologised on behalf of his team following the celebrations at Lord’s during which alcohol was poured over a young Muslim player.
Westley’s side won the Bob Willis Trophy after a draw with Somerset on Sunday but amid jubilant post-match scenes on the pavilion balcony, the 12th man, Feroze Khushi, was pictured recoiling as his teammate Will Buttleman doused him with beer.
