Former England cricketer Ben Stokes has stated that the drinking culture in cricket has not changed over the years and that it is wrong to claim that just the English side has players who consume alcohol.

Following claims that starter Ben Duckett was observed drunk during the team’s mid-series break in Noosa, the controversy grew more heated.
