Head Reached Out to Duckett After Social Media Clip Criticism
The two batters were on rival teams in the recent Ashes campaigns.
Aussie opener Travis Head disclosed that he reached out to England fellow opener Ben Duckett following a online footage circulated that seemed to depict the player in a inebriated state prior to the Melbourne Test.
Reports suggested that players were drinking excessively during a respite in the coastal resort of Noosa between the second and third Tests.
One unverified video led to greater examination on the squad and on Duckett personally.
"I get on with Ducky and reached out to see if he was going alright," commented Head.
"We are all still people. Your actions in your own time is your concern.
"I understand we live a high profile life and some people are more visible than others.
"Ultimately, it is a rather harsh but I don't think there is any real issue."
Background of the Situation
England's four nights in Noosa followed they had fallen 2-0 down in the Ashes series following losses in Perth and Brisbane.
Several media outlets reported 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 better showing in the next Test, they lost in Adelaide to surrender the series to Australia.
Head's Perspective
Commenting following England's victory in the Melbourne Test, Head said: "I was jealous.
"Everyone has made a lot more out of it than it warranted.
"We have done the very same on earlier trips. I don't have an problem with it."
