Australian broadcaster Seven accused the tourists’ backroom staff member of a physical confrontation following Saturday’s events at Brisbane airport.

As England prepared to board a flight to Adelaide, the altercation was filmed and later broadcast on television and Seven’s social channels.
“Hopefully it’s been sorted and we can all move on,” England coach McCullum said.
“I didn’t see it. I don’t know to what level it was. We have a security team that is trying to protect the players. I don’t know where that line was.”
The exchange at Brisbane Airport came at the end of England’s break in the Queensland coastal town of Noosa, where they were regularly captured on camera, including by Seven.

The coverage followed a pattern of intense media scrutiny that has followed England across Australia.
Cricket Australia has previously issued reminders to all media outlets that teams will not be available for interviews in transit through airports and that all images must be captured from a respectful distance.
A Seven statement issued on Saturday said: “While carrying out routine filming in a public space, the camera operator was physically confronted despite acting respectfully and professionally.”
Speaking on Sunday, McCullum said: “When you come to Australia, there are a lot of eyes. There is a lot of intensity and scrutiny on everything you do.

“I feel like we’ve handled ourselves pretty well throughout this tour. I think the guys were outstanding during the last week we had in Noosa.
“They’ve been interacting with a lot of locals and everyone was in good spirits. There was some good banter going both ways and I think everyone treated him with the respect he deserved.”
In Australia it is common to film players at airports.
Last year, Indian star Virat Kohli objected to being filmed at Melbourne airport.
And Australian all-rounder Cameron Green said he had “sympathy” for the situation England find themselves in.

“You never like to be filmed, especially when you want to get away from it,” Green said.
“There is always sympathy for anyone in life who is filmed in public or in a private space. It is never a pleasant feeling.
“That’s the expectation as an Australian or England cricketer, you’ll probably get a fair amount of media scrutiny.
“When you’re doing very well you like the extra attention; when you’re not, you don’t enjoy it. Unfortunately, it’s part of the job.”
