Vaughan Slams Duckett's Drinking: "Learn When to Go Home" Amidst Ashes Allegations

  • Ex-England captain Michael Vaughan criticized Ben Duckett over viral drinking videos during the Ashes, advising him to "learn when to go home."
  • Vaughan stated he doesn't fault players for having a few beers on days off but emphasized knowing when to stop.
  • The England Cricket Board is investigating the incident, while current skipper Ben Stokes supported Duckett.
  • Vaughan argued that the "drinking culture" is inherent to cricket, not solely the players' fault, especially with young players given days off.
  • Duckett has struggled with form in the Ashes, scoring low runs across three Tests, contrasting with Zak Crawley's two fifties.

Why It Matters: Vaughan criticizes Duckett's judgment regarding off-field conduct, linking it to cricket's wider drinking culture.
