MCC member expelled for Lord's Ashes confrontation

One member has been expelled and two others handed lengthy suspensions after the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) completed its investigation into the Lord's Pavilion Ashes confrontation.

Australia demanded a "please explain" from the MCC after players were abused and two were allegedly tripped by some members on a dramatic final day of the Lord's Test on July 2.

Triggered by Alex Carey's stumping of Jonny Bairstow when he walked out of his crease, things came to a head when Usman Khawaja and David Warner stopped in the long room and approached one man.

Vision from inside the long room as players left the field at lunch showed players were yelled at by several members and labelled "cheats".

AAP has been told the abuse from different members included several expletives and calling players a "disgrace", "liars" and telling them to return home.

The drama is understood to have continued up the stairs and out of camera shot before players ate lunch.

The MCC on Thursday released the outcome of their disciplinary process and charged three members with abusive, offensive or inappropriate behaviour or language.

One was expelled, another copped a four-and-a-half-year club suspension and another was suspended for 30 months.

The MCC did not disclose the detail of their findings or identify the trio. 

"The actions of the three individuals in the Pavilion on the day in question fell well below the behaviour expected from our members," a statement read. 

"The penalties set out above are the consequences of breaching the club's code of conduct."
