Southee was accused of getting too personal with a female passenger on an Emirates flight from Dubai on Wednesday. Mills told Radio Live that Currie shouldn't have made a comment before facts were established.
"I have carried out a thorough investigation," Currie had said in a statement. "Tim met a female passenger on board the plane and spent some time with her. However, we are confident that nothing inappropriate happened between them," Currie added.
The passenger was reported to have found her way on Southee's knee and kissed him on the cheek. However, another passenger ufffd Ms Pippa Tabron ufffd provided a different view. "There was nothing going on that I saw.
The boys were not hanging off her," said Tabron, who described the woman as "overweight and acting like a groupie."
