England do not have a drinking problem, says Broad

PUBS BOSS SAYS CURRENT TEAM LEADERS NOT 'PARTY ANIMALS'

- 

FORMER Leicestershire and England bowler Stuart Broad insists the current team do not have a drinking problem despite a series of incidents involving alcohol this winter.

England limited-overs captain Harry Brook was fined following an altercation with a bouncer in New Zealand, while players were pictured drinking across multiple days during a mid-Ashes break in Noosa.

But Broad, co-founder of The Cat & Wickets Pub Company, said: "They've just had a couple of guys who have made mistakes and that's got into the media.

"I think it's up to your team mates to get you out of those situations, and that's when your culture's really strong."
