Police investigate former England cricketer over alleged sexual assault incident

England cricket has been rocked by a bombshell investigation into a high-profile identity.

Police say the alleged sexual assault incident occurred in May at a pub in Fulham called The Boundary.

The pub is co-owned by England coach Brendon McCullum, but McCullum is not accused of any wrongdoing.

McCullum was not in London on the date of the alleged incident as England was playing Zimbabwe in a Test match in Nottingham.

“Two women are believed to have been spiked with one also allegedly sexually assaulted,” police said in a statement.

“A man in his 40s was interviewed under caution on Thursday, June 5.

“Inquiries remain ongoing and no arrests have been made at this stage.”

It has been reported that a former England cricketer is at the centre of the police investigations.

England cricketer and former T20 captain Jos Buttler is one of several high-profile sports star who co-owns The Boundary with McCullum.

Other former cricketers who are reportedly shareholders in the pub include Eoin Morgan, Sam Billings, former South Africa captain Graeme Smith and Ireland cricketer Paul Stirling.

England union star Jamie George is another well-known figure connected to the hotel.

None of the owners have been accused of anything.

The England and Wales Cricket Board is yet to comment but it has been reported that the board is very aware of the police probe.

England is about to embark on an Ashes campaign in Australia.

The first Test will be played from November 21-25 at Optus Stadium in Perth.
