ECB Clears England Players Over Noosa Break After Internal Review

The board says its inquiry found only routine drinking during the mid-series Noosa break.

Overview

  • The internal review concluded there was no misconduct by players and no disciplinary action will be taken.
  • Security personnel who accompanied the squad reported no incidents requiring intervention and dismissed “stag‑do” claims.
  • A viral video of Ben Duckett appearing intoxicated prompted Rob Key to initiate the fact‑finding process.
  • ECB management acknowledged lessons on preparation and optics, including the decision to house the full squad at a compact resort.
  • With the matter closed, focus returns to the SCG finale following England’s morale‑boosting win at the MCG.
