Australia have dropped batsman David Warner from today's crucial ICC Champions Trophy clash against New Zealand following an alleged "physical altercation" with an England player.
The 26-year-old is thought to have been at the centre of an incident involving an alcohol-fuelled altercation with an England player, believed to be Joe Root, according to BBC Sport.
Cricket Australia have announced that they are investigating the incident, which is said to have taken place in the early hours of Sunday morning following his nation's defeat to England on Saturday.
A statement was released, which said: "CA will convene the Code of Behaviour hearing as soon as possible. Details will be provided once the time and date is confirmed. CA will not be making any further comment until after the hearing."
This is the second time that Warner has been at the centre of controversy in three weeks following his £3,700 fine for a Twitter spat with Australian journalists.
