Drunk Duckett Video Surfaces: England Cricket Probes Player Conduct
24 Dec
Summary
- Ben Duckett's disoriented state in a resurfaced video is under investigation.
- The incident occurred during England's Ashes tour in Queensland.
- Duckett's batting performance in the Ashes series has been poor.
Video evidence depicting England opener Ben Duckett in a state of intoxication has surfaced, prompting an investigation by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB). The footage, which appeared on social media, shows Duckett appearing disoriented during a night out in Noosa, Queensland. The ECB spokesperson confirmed they are aware of the circulating content and are following established processes to address conduct falling below expectations.
This incident adds further pressure on the England team, who are already trailing 2-0 in the Ashes series. Duckett's form with the bat has been a concern, with him scoring only 97 runs across six innings at an average of 16.16. The team had already faced scrutiny for their trip to Noosa, which took place while they were in a difficult position in the series.
