The alleged spiking is understood to have taken place at a cricket-themed pub in Chelsea, The Boundary, which is co-owned by England cricket’s head coach, Brendon McCullum and white-ball batter Jos Buttler, among other members of the England set-up.
The 50-over World Cup winning captain Eoin Morgan, the former one-day international batter Sam Billings, the former South Africa captain Graeme Smith and the Ireland cricketer Paul Stirling are also shareholders, as is the England and British Lions rugby union hooker Jamie George.
None of the sports star owners were present at the time of the alleged incident, which was said to have taken place on the first day of England’s one-off Test match against Zimbabwe at Trent Bridge on 22 May.
Due to the pub’s ownership, the England and Wales Cricket Board has been aware of the allegations for some time. When contacted by the Guardian it declined to comment.

Finals Day has been rather entertaining. Chris Lynn with the first ever 100 at Finals Day too.
Just a shame we've not got all the England players playing. Would have helped Lancs0 -
Somerset need 44 from 22 balls0

It means country championship games get moved to dates that don't give spin bowlers a chance.
Serves absolutely no purpose apart from making ££££££ for the people who came up with the idea.
Here's a thought, why don't we just have first class cricket
50 over cricket
20 / 20 cricket
The 100 is an abomination and can fuck right off if you are a proper cricket fan.7 -
I'm a 'pwopa' cricket fan, and i like/enjoy it. Its far from a 'shit' competition' - i find that comment a bit childish tbh.
50 over cricket is dying globally anyway, not just because of the 100.
Plus, the 100 has paid off the debt of all the counties .
So, cant be that bad.0 - Sponsored links:

However, to embellish it as a 'shit competition' is a bit excessive.0 -
When the domestic 20 over comp was inaugurated, it was regarded as 'hit and giggles' but soon became the top comp domestically - you may well find the 100 to do the same - not just here but also globally. Certainly in terms of attendances its already there.0

There are plenty of other articles stating that 50 over cricket is on the wane.0 -
Yesterday's finals day at the Blast proved the Hundred is utterly pointless. We already had a fantastic domestic white ball competition.6

In football there are many competitions, League,FA Cup,League Cup, other cups.
I really dont get the negativity re the 100 (aside from the fact that we dont play Tests during August any longer, which i disagree with.)
It gives an opportunity for our young players to be around greats such as Smith,Warner,Williamson etc. which can surely only benefit them - i mean look at Will Smeed yesterday.0 -
@Zulu The problem is that our summer is too short to have four competitions. One has to go. The Hundred and T20 Blast are, in terms of skills, very similar. T20 must be the preferred format as it is recognised worldwide. Abandoning 50-over would mean abandoning another format recognised worldwide. Effectively, we are abandoning 50-over, as it’s been demoted to a second-rate competition, yet is the preferred type of format for grassroots club cricket. Arguably, 50-over is the best World Cup as it is a good measure of skill between each nation. Why? Test cricket doesn’t lend itself to world championships (the current final is a poor relation) and T20, as we know, hinges on too much luck. A team can have one bad day or one batsman has a lucky day and the weaker side wins. If we drop the T20 Blast and persevere with the Hundred, that leaves a lot of good county players twiddling their thumbs for a month (and maybe longer soon). It’s a difficult one but the Hundred is the bad egg for me.9
