The England players have apologised for their celebrations at the Oval after winning the ashes 3-0 on Sunday.
There were reports - neither officially confirmed nor denied - that they had urinated on the pitch but the statement issued via the England Cricket Board on Wednesday did not go into the specifics of the incident.
Australian cricket journalists were still at the oval after the crowds had dispersed when they reported seeing several England players taking turns to relieve themselves on the pitch.
It is not known how many players were involved.
