ECB Eyes Curfew for England Players After Ashes Booze Blowout

• The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is considering a strict curfew for players due to concerns over binge drinking and off-field behaviour during the Ashes tour of Australia.
• The move is being discussed ahead of England’s upcoming white-ball tour of Sri Lanka and the T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka.
• Reports from Australia detailed heavy drinking, repeated casino visits, and a lack of discipline, with one claim describing six days of drinking between Tests.
• Players were reportedly seen frequently at gaming tables and bars at Crown Towers, a luxury hotel inside a major casino complex.
• Curfews have been enforced by the ECB previously, including during the 2017–18 Ashes and after Ben Stokes' Bristol nightclub brawl.
