Melbourne: Cricket Australia would investigate into the team's alleged misbehaviour with Board of Control for Cricket in India President Sharad Pawar during the Champions Trophy presentation ceremony in Mumbai.
"The players have only just arrived back in Australia and over the course of the next few days we will be finding out what, if anything, did or did not happen," CA Spokesman Peter Young said on Tuesday.
Young said the players were very thrilled to have won the mini-World Cup and had now dispersed to their respective states.
"I do know the Australian players were very excited to win the trophy. It is a bit of a holy grail because it was the only trophy in world cricket they had not won," he was quoted as saying by The Age.
Ricky Ponting's men have been taken to task by the Indian media for nudging Pawar after their eight-wicket win over the West Indies in Sunday's final in Mumbai.
Ponting gestured towards Pawar with his forefinger, asking him to give away the trophy while Damien Martyn was seen pushing Pawar with his right hand, urging him to get off the stage so that the team could pose with the trophy.

This clearly proves to show that the West Indies are the real winners by their modesty.
