Cricket World Cup: Afghanistan players in Manchester restaurant altercation

Afghanistan have played in Bristol, Cardiff (twice) and Taunton during this World Cup before Tuesday's game in Manchester

Some members of the Afghanistan squad were involved in an altercation at a Manchester restaurant on Monday, which resulted in the police being called.

It is thought the unnamed players took exception to being filmed and confronted a member of the public.

Greater Manchester Police said officers attended Akbar's restaurant shortly after 23:15 BST. No arrests were made and investigations are ongoing.

England beat Afghanistan on Tuesday in the World Cup match at Old Trafford.

England captain Eoin Morgan hit 17 sixes - a one-day international record - as he made 148 off 71 balls in a 150-run victory.
