BALLANCE ESCAPES WITH WARNING
England batsman Gary Ballance will not face any formal punishment by officials after being pictured shirtless in a Nottingham bar following last week’s drawn first Test against India. However, England coach Peter Moores ha reminded his squad to “uphold the best possible image for England cricket”. Yorkshire batsman Ballance, who made 71 in the match, went out with several team-mates following the end of the series and was photographed by members of the public enjoying himself in a Nottingham bar in the early hours.
