Travis Head Reached Out to Duckett Following Social Media Clip Criticism
The two batters have been on opposing sides in the past two Ashes campaigns.
Aussie opener Travis Head disclosed that he reached out to England counterpart Ben Duckett following a video surfaced purportedly showing the player in a drunken state prior to the MCG Test.
Accounts suggested that players were consuming significant amounts of alcohol during a time off in the coastal resort of Noosa in the gap between the second and the third Tests.
One unconfirmed video led to greater examination on the team and on Duckett in particular.
"I get on with Ducky and reached out to see if he was alright," stated Head.
"Everyone is still people. What you do in your personal time is your own business.
"I know we live a very public life and certain individuals are more high profile than others.
"In the end, it is a rather harsh but I don't think there is any major concern."
Background of the Situation
England's time in Noosa came after they had gone 2-0 down in the Ashes series following losses in Perth and Brisbane.
Several news organizations stated that some players were consuming alcohol for a significant portion of their time on the Queensland coast, as well as on two previous days in Brisbane.
Though they gave an better performance in the following Test, they were defeated in Adelaide to surrender the series to Australia.
The Australian's Viewpoint
Speaking following England's victory in the Melbourne Test, Head added: "I felt envious.
"Everyone has made a lot more out of it than it warranted.
"We have done the same thing on earlier trips. I don't have an problem with it."
