Durham have said they will investigate claims made about their head coach James Franklin by India spinner Yuzvendra Chahal.
In a podcast appearance earlier this year, Chahal alleged that Franklin and former Australia star Andrew Symonds got drunk, tied him up, taped his mouth and left him like that all night. Chahal said the incident occurred when the trio played together at Indian Premier League franchise Mumbai Indians in 2011.
And in a statement, Durham said: "We are aware of recent news reports surrounding an incident in 2011 which name a member of our staff. As with any matters involving employees, the club will speak privately with all parties involved to determine the facts."
