Viral Video Shows Ben Duckett Appearing Drunk Amid England's Ashes Tour In Australia
England’s 2025–26 Ashes tour in Australia has ended in heavy defeat after three straight losses in the opening Tests. The team’s struggles on and off the field have drawn criticism, with a viral video of Ben Duckett adding to their woes. Meanwhile, India captain Rohit Sharma has highlighted Australia’s dominance as a lesson for his own side.
England’s campaign collapsed early, with consecutive defeats leaving them no chance of reclaiming the Ashes. The series loss in Australia marks another difficult overseas tour for the team, reinforcing their long-standing struggles in these conditions.
Off the pitch, a video surfaced showing England batter Ben Duckett visibly intoxicated and disoriented. The clip spread quickly on social media, prompting the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) to issue a statement. While acknowledging the incident, the board reiterated its expectations for professional conduct during international tours. India’s Rohit Sharma weighed in on England’s difficulties, calling Australia the toughest place to play cricket. He praised the hosts’ consistency and mental strength in home conditions, suggesting his team should take note. His remarks came as England’s poor form continued, with no signs of a turnaround in the remaining matches.
The Ashes defeat leaves England with little to salvage from the tour. The ECB’s response to Duckett’s behaviour signals a focus on discipline ahead of future series. For India, Australia’s performance serves as a benchmark for success in challenging overseas conditions.
