According to The Manchester Evening News, Liam Livingstone was the player glassed in the face during the fight.
Quote:The players were enjoying a drink following their quarter-final win over the Kent Spitfires in the Natwest T20 Blast when the brawl broke out at The Auction House Bar, in Ashford, at around 11.50pm yesterday.
It is understood one of the players accidentally knocked into a man standing nearby. Witnesses say the player apologised immediately but the other man took offence.
Several members of the team became involved in a scrum, with punches and glasses thrown.
Lancashire’s Liam Livingstone was glassed in the face and had ‘blood pouring down his face’. The 22-year-old batsman shot to fame earlier this year when he hit 350 for his club, Nantwich Town.
