England know behaviour must improve: Moeen Ali

Batsman Ben Duckett was dropped from the Ashes tour game against a Cricket Australia XI for pouring a drink over bowler James Anderson in a Perth bar.

"We're all grown men and we should know how to behave," said Moeen, who captained England for the drawn game at Richardson Park.

"The individual needs to be responsible for his own behaviour."

Cricket Australia XI closed the two-day game on 269-8 in pursuit of 294 to win.

The hosts had declared their first innings on 151-4, 163 behind England, who then batted 20 overs for 130-3 to leave 37 overs for the chase.

The Duckett incident came after wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow was accused of 'head-butting' Australia opening batsman Cameron Bancroft at the beginning of the tour and all-rounder Ben Stokes was arrested following an altercation outside a Bristol nightclub in September. Both Bairstow and Bancroft eventually said their incident was "without malice", while Stokes is still waiting for a Crown Prosecution Service decision on whether he will be charged. What really happened between Bancroft & Bairstow? As cricketers and professionals, the scrutiny that is on us - we have to be careful," added Moeen.

"It's important we inspire the younger generation to take up the game. These things could possibly turn them away and that's not what we want.

"Maybe the culture needs to change slightly. It's not always easy. Guys are on tour for a very long time and they feel like they want to go out - but when you do go out you have to behave yourself."

Speaking after the Duckett incident came to light on Saturday, coach Trevor Bayliss said he "might review who is in the team" following the off-field misdemeanours.

Anderson, who has played in 131 Tests, is England's all-time leading wicket-taker and there is no suggestion the 35-year-old did anything wrong.

Moeen, who does not drink alcohol, said: "We're playing for England, so we wear the England badge wherever we go. Times have changed. Players can't do things that they would have done in the past."
