Head Made Contact to Duckett Following Video Criticism
The two batters have been on opposing sides in the past two Ashes contests.
Aussie opener Travis Head stated that he sent a message to English fellow opener Ben Duckett following a video circulated purportedly showing the player in a intoxicated state before the MCG Test.
Reports suggested that members of the squad were drinking excessively during a time off in the coastal resort of Noosa between the second and the third Tests.
One unconfirmed video resulted in heightened scrutiny on the team and on Duckett specifically.
"I get on with Ducky well reached out to see if he was alright," stated Head.
"We are all still people. Your actions in your private life is your concern.
"I know we live a very public life and some people are more visible than others.
"At the end of the day, it is a rather harsh but I don't think there is any major concern."
Context of the Situation
England's four nights in Noosa followed they had gone 2-0 down in the Ashes series after losses in the first two Tests.
Multiple media outlets stated that some players were consuming alcohol for a significant portion of their time on the Queensland coast, in addition to on two previous days in Brisbane.
Although they produced an improved showing in the next Test, they lost in Adelaide to surrender the series to Australia.
The Australian's Take
Speaking following the visiting team's win in the fourth Test, Head said: "I was jealous.
"People has made a lot more out of it than it warranted.
"Our teams have done the same thing on previous tours. I don't see an problem with it."
