    Australian batsman David Warner suspended for 'unprovoked physical attack' on England's Joe Root in

    Birmingham bar The Walkabout

    The incident occurred in a nightclub after Australia's defeat to England in the Champions Trophy

    Batsman David Warner looks set to be sent home after he "initiated an unprovoked physical attack on a

    member of the England team", in events that have sent the Australian cricket team into crisis.

    The England 'member' in question is understood to be Joe Root.

    The opening batsman was left out of Australia's Champions Trophy clash with New Zealand today pending

    an investigation and is almost certain to be sent home.

    The incident occurred in Australian themed nightclub The Walkabout in Birmingham city centre.

    The attack, described as "alcohol fuelled", is reported to have taken place in the early hours of the

    morning after Australia's Champions Trophy defeat to England. Warner is said to have flashed a

    "glancing blow" which struck Root on the chin.

    Widespread reports suggest Root was wearing a fake wig, which he then turned around to use as a beard

    , to which Warner took offence. The Australian reportedly grabbed the hairpiece without asking to which

    Root asked: "What did you do that for?" It was at this point that Warner is said to have lashed out.

    Warner was the reportedly pulled away by his Australia team-mates and the England players who were

    in attendance, which included Stuart Broad and Chris Woakes.
