South African cricketer Herschelle Gibbs was reportedly barred from entering a Perth nightclub because of his tattoos at the weekend.

According to perthnow.com.au, the Perth Scorchers opener, who belted a game-high 71 off just 46 balls to steer the WA side into the T20 Big Bash final, was unable to celebrate with his team-mates at Ginger nightclub in Mt Lawley after being refused entry.

Gibbs took to his Twitter account to comment on the incident.
