England's Ashes Shame: Heavy Drinking, Brawls Force ECB Review Amid Debacle

• ECB launches "thorough review" into England's Ashes debacle, covering tour planning, performance, and player behaviours after their fourth consecutive series loss in Australia.
• The review will scrutinize the Ben Stokes-led team's conduct, following Harry Brook's apology for inappropriate behaviour during the New Zealand tour.
• Reports indicate a six-day spell of heavy drinking by players, including Brook, in Noosa between Ashes fixtures, raising concerns about alcohol consumption.
• Brook's nightclub incident and a widely circulated video of a drunk Ben Duckett add to a history of off-field controversies for the England team.
• Despite past incidents like the Bristol brawl, this marks the first investigation into player behaviour during an Ashes tour, highlighting the need for discipline.

Why It Matters: England players must take responsibility for off-field conduct; discipline is crucial for national representation.
