Overview
- Players must return to the team hotel by 12 a.m. each night throughout their stays in Sri Lanka and India unless prior permission is granted.
- Captain Harry Brook and head coach Brendon McCullum have been briefed, with the squad to receive conduct reminders upon arrival in Colombo.
- The decision follows multiple disciplinary issues, including Brook’s Wellington nightclub altercation that drew a reported £30,000 fine and a final warning.
- Video of Ben Duckett appearing intoxicated during a mid‑series break and reports of heavy drinking at a Perth casino hotel heightened management concerns.
- Reintroducing a curfew reverses the looser approach adopted under Ben Stokes and McCullum after an earlier Strauss‑era restriction was scrapped.
