Overview
- Channel 7 released footage showing an England team security guard pushing camera operator Nick Carrigan at Brisbane Airport as the squad travelled to Adelaide.
- Channel 7 said the matter is being taken seriously and is being handled through appropriate channels, while the England and Wales Cricket Board declined to comment.
- McCullum told reporters he had not seen the incident, described it as not ideal, and indicated England are set to keep their top seven batters for the third Test.
- Cricket Australia’s media guidance states teams are unavailable for interview in transit and that airport filming should be from a respectful distance, which reporting says the crew observed.
- Accounts differ on the severity of the confrontation, with Channel 7 describing Carrigan as manhandled and some outlets noting the clips do not show a sustained physical altercation as England prepare for the December 17 Test in Adelaide.
