Ashes Loss, Noosa Break And Booze Claims Put England Players Under Review
Kashmir Observer
|December 24, 2025 Issue
England's managing director of men's cricket Rob Key says he will investigate the drinking habits of the England team following reports that their mid-Ashes beach resort break may have involved overindulging of alcohol.
England lost each of the first three Tests to allow Australia to retain the Ashes in just 11 days of on-field action.
The England squad visited the resort town of Noosa on the Sunshine Coach north of Brisbane between the second and third Tests, a long-planned part of the itinerary designed to help players relax and unwind on the long tour.
Key, who did not join the players in Noosa, said he had no problem with the break, but would not be happy if he found evidence of overindulging.
