Travis Head Reached Out to Ben Duckett After Social Media Clip Criticism
The two batters have been on opposing sides in the past two Ashes campaigns.
Australian opener Travis Head disclosed that he made contact to English counterpart Ben Duckett after a online footage surfaced that seemed to depict the batter in a intoxicated state before the MCG Test.
Accounts indicated that players were drinking excessively during a respite in the coastal resort of Noosa between the second and the third Tests.
One unconfirmed video sparked heightened examination on the squad and on Duckett personally.
"I get on with Ducky well reached out to see if he was alright," commented Head.
"Everyone is still human. What you do in your own time is your concern.
"I know we live a high profile life and some people are more high profile than others.
"Ultimately, it is a somewhat unfair but I don't think there is any genuine problem."
Context of the Event
England's four nights in Noosa came after they had gone 2-0 down in the Ashes series following defeats in the first two Tests.
Multiple news organizations stated that some players were drinking for a significant portion of their time on the coastal break, in addition to on two previous days in Brisbane.
Although they produced an improved showing in the next Test, they lost in Adelaide to concede the series to Australia.
Head's Perspective
Commenting after the visiting team's win in the fourth Test, Head added: "I felt envious.
"People has made a bigger deal than was necessary.
"We have done the very same on earlier trips. I don't have an issue with it."
