Ashes 2025-26: Australia’s Travis Head says he spoke to Ben Duckett after video of England batter


Australia opener Travis Head says he reached out to England counterpart Ben Duckett after a video emerged on social media prior to the Melbourne Test appearing to show the batter drunk.

England began an investigation after reports of players drinking excessively during a break in the beach town of Noosa between the second and third Tests.

One video, which has not been verified by the BBC, appeared to show England opener Duckett drunk, and led to a further increase in scrutiny on the team and Duckett in particular.

“I get on with Ducky well and reached out to him to see if he was going alright,” said Head.

“Everyone is still human. What you do in your personal time is up to you.

“I know we live a high profile life and some people are more high profile than others.

“At the end of the day, it is a bit stiff but I don’t think there is any real issue.”
