  • Tim Paines Brother In Law Allegedly Sent Lewd Texts To Same Woman As Former Captain

Tim Paine's brother-in-law allegedly sent lewd texts to same woman as former captain

Australia wicket-keeper batsman Tim Paine had resigned from Test captaincy earlier after it emerged that he was being investigated for a sexting scandal. 

The right-hander made the announcement of him stepping down from the post in a press conference. It was revealed that the incident involved a former Cricket Tasmania employee in 2017.

The reports further claimed that a Cricket Tasmania female employee was offended by “Mr Paine’s sexually explicit, unwelcome and unsolicited photograph of his genitals in addition to the graphic sexual comments.”

Now, it has been reported that Paine’s brother-in-law, Shannon Tubb who works at a private school sent lewd messages to the same woman as per Herald Sun. Yubb is the coach of the first XI cricket team at Adelaide's prestigious Prince Alfred College. 

The headmaster of the school has expressed his disappointment on the incident. 'We're very disappointed, I've got to know Shannon well over the last couple of years. It was quite confronting,' headmaster Bradley Fenner said. 

'In the light of this news, we are reviewing Shannon's position with us and will advise the school community about this in due course,' headmaster Frenner added. 

'We will consider what we do and we will look through this thoroughly and look at what has occurred.'

Paine’s resignation came a few days before the start of the Ashes series. The fixtures are scheduled to begin on December 8 in Brisbane.
