The members of the MCC have "brought shame" by abusing the Australian cricketers during the Lord's Test and a "tougher stance" will be taken on their "unacceptable" behaviour, the club said after deciding to restrict their access in the Long Room.
The MCC had "unreservedly apologised" to the Australian team for the behaviour of some of its members and suspended three of them after few players of the visiting team were abused in the Long room on the fifth day of the second Ashes Test.
"I cannot downplay the impact that the behaviour of a few members has had on the perception of our club. The members shown on camera have brought shame on MCC," MCC chair Bruce Carnegie-Brown wrote in an email to Club's members according to The Guardian.
