Former New Zealand cricket captain Chris Cairns was found not guilty of perjury in the Southwark Crown Court in October last year.

Chris Cairns is chasing the MCC for damages after the club linked the former New Zealand international cricketer to match-fixing on their YouTube channel.

Last month, the Marylebone Cricket Club posted a video on YouTube featuring part of former Black Caps captain Brendon McCullum's Spirit of Cricket lecture with a contentious title.

Cairns was cleared last year of perjury in a London court case relating to accusations he had taken part in match-fixing and the club based at Lord's has since apologised to him for the headline, The Telegraph reported.

The video, which was removed after 11 hours, is the subject of an ongoing settlement discussion between Cairns and the club.

"He has been through two trials and been vindicated in both and he is not going to allow the MCC or anyone else repeat the libel," Cairns' solicitor Rhory Robertson said.

Cairns was found not guilty of having lied under oath in a 2012 court case, a libel trial win against wealthy Indian businessman Lalit Modi.

McCullum spoke at length during his MCC speech about giving evidence against Cairns to anti-corruption officers and about appearing as a witness in last year's trial.

The MCC has made a statement on the incorrect title relating to Cairns in a video on their YouTube channel.

"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 statement said.

"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."
