Former New Zealand cricketer Chris Cairns is seeking damages from the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), after the Lord's-based club made a mistake on YouTube.
An MCC headline stated that Cairns was involved in match-fixing, alongside a video of former BlackCaps captain Brendon McCullum's Spirit of Cricket lecture.
The video, which was titled "Mr McCullum On: Cairns' Match Fixing" was removed after 11 hours, and the MCC has issued an apology.
In a statement on their Youtube channel, the MCC said: "It is accepted that Mr Cairns was successful in a libel action in 2012, when wrongly accused of match fixing. "He was also acquitted by a jury of all charges in 2015, in which it was alleged he had committed perjury at the 2012 trial.
"The MCC apologises to Mr Cairns for wrongly alleging in the video title that he was guilty of match fixing and withdraws the allegation completely."
The MCC are now in discussions with Cairns over a settlement.
