Australia opener Travis Head said he reached out to England’s Ben Duckett after a social media video surfaced before the Melbourne Test that appeared to show Duckett intoxicated.

England’s managing director, Rob Key, had mentioned that the board had initiated an investigation following reports of players drinking heavily during a break in Noosa, a beach town, between the second and third Tests.


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