England investigate after police break up post-Ashes party



The players from the two teams get together after the final Test.

The England and Wales Cricket Board will investigate after police were called to break up a drinking session at the team hotel.

England and Australia's players and staff gathered at the tourists' base to mark the end of the series.

The video shows police telling England captain Joe Root, bowler James Anderson, and Australia trio Nathan Lyon, Alex Carey, and Travis Head to leave the area.

The England party apologized for any disruptions.

The hotel management received a noise complaint from a guest and the police attended the scene.

The players and management returned to their hotel rooms after being asked to leave.

The ECB will look into it further. We will not make any further comment until such times.

The police were called to the hotel after a report of "intoxicated people". No action would be taken.

A video on social media showed four officers ordering a group of people to leave a table filled with beer bottles.

The incident happened a day after a newspaper report suggested a drinking culture had developed on the tour among England staff and players.

The urn remained in Australian hands after England lost the five-Test series.
