Rob Key to investigate England’s drinking habits after Ashes ‘stag do’
Investigation launched into England’s drinking during Ashes ‘stag do’ break
- Rob Key, the ECB’s managing director of men’s cricket, is investigating England’s drinking habits following their humiliating Ashes performance in Australia.
- The inquiry focuses on reports that a mid-Ashes beach break in Noosa, intended for relaxation, resembled a "stag do" with excessive alcohol consumption.
- Key stated he has no issue with the break itself but would investigate if players were found to have drunk excessively, deeming it unacceptable for an international team.
- He emphasised that he does not support a drinking culture within the team and believes excessive alcohol consumption is inappropriate.
- Key also revealed he previously issued informal warnings to players, including Harry Brook and Jacob Bethell, after reports of them drinking before a match in New Zealand.
