Australian spinner Nathan Hauritz had to undergo facial surgery after being struck during an altercation at a Queensland nightclub.

The incident is under investigation by police but Hauritz decided against laying any charges.

“By his own admission Nathan said he was immature and silly,” Brown told The Daily Telegraph.

“He had a few drinks, the incident occurred, Nathan was struck by a patron. Nathan has chosen not to lay any charges, which is his right.

“We’ve investigated the matter and determined the matter has been resolved internally. I have great sympathy for what Nathan has been through. No person deserves to get whacked in the face.

“All parties are happy with the outcome and we move on.

“He’s a bit sheepish and he’s learnt a valuable lesson.”
