Travis Head Reveals His Post-Ashes Plans: 'Looking Forward to Having a Drink With Ben Duckett'

Ashes 2025-26: Australia have been unstoppable in the ongoing Ashes series. The hosts won the first three Tests, ensuring they retain the Urn - but after that, they lost the Boxing Day Test at the MCG. One player who has been a thorn in England's flesh is opener Travis Head. The Australian opener admitted that there is a lot of mutual respect between the two teams and also expressed his wish to have a beer with Ben Duckett after the series gets over.

‘Looking forward to having a beer with Ducky’

“There’s definitely mutual respect,” he said in comments published by The Australian newspaper on Wednesday. 

“I get along with a couple of them really well. There’s some really good relationships with both teams. I’m looking forward to having a beer with Ducky (Ben Duckett). So, yeah, it’d be a nice moment. It’s obviously nice going there knowing that we’ve won the series.”

With a Test still to go, Australia lead the series 3-1 and have thus already confirmed a victory, making it the fifth consecutive Ashes.

Will Tradition Continue? 

There has been a tradition between Australia and England that once the Ashes got over, players of both sides got together and drank. The tradition was stopped in 2023 after fifth Ashes Test at The Oval. Head hopes the tradition is revived and the two teams meet for a farewell after the final Test at the SCG. 

With a game still to go, it would be interesting to see if Australia are going to ring in wholesale changes or not. The fifth and final Test starts from January 4.
