The Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) has reportedly announced to it's members that 'external agencies' are currently 'investigating the misappropriation' of the club's funds.

As reported by The Telegraph, the news broke during the MCC's annual general meeting at Lord's on Wednesday afternoon, with the outlet claiming that the probe relates to 'money that has gone missing'. 

The newspaper also states that the club's treasurer, Chris Rogers, informed members that 'solicitors' were looking into the cause of the missing funds and that the historic cricket club would also be reviewing their financial controls.

The MCC enjoyed a fruitful year in 2023, announcing record high revenues for the last 12 months, with the historic cricket club banking a £67.8million off the back of the enthralling second Ashes Test at Lord's. 

Australia claimed a 43-run victory against England during that match, that saw them take a 2-0 lead in the series. Jonny Bairstow was also dismissed in contentious circumstances, while several MCC members were issued with suspensions for shouting abuse at Australia's players in Lord's long room.
