Claims that Alex Carey failed to pay a £30 haircut bill in Leeds are "untrue", according to Cricket Australia.
Carey and his Australia team-mates are in Yorkshire for the third Ashes test at Headingley, where a draw will be enough for them to retain the urn. The wicketkeeper attracted plenty of attention earlier in the series at Lord's after his controversial stumping of Jonny Bairstow, but Aussie officials have been quick to play down these latest reports.
The haircut story was repeated on Test Match Special by former England captain Alastair Cook. However, there appears to be more than meets the eye.
