Deadline Looms for Alex Carey to Settle £30 Haircut Debt with Leeds Barber: The world of cricket often unveils stories that extend beyond the cricket pitch. An intriguing tale involving Australian wicketkeeper-batter Alex Carey and a £30 haircut has now surfaced, providing some off-field drama amid the intensity of the Ashes 2023.
On the eve of the third Test at Headingley, Carey, accompanied by fellow teammates Marnus Labuschagne, David Warner, and Usman Khawaja, paid a visit to Doc Barnet’s Barber Shop in Leeds. While his colleagues obliged with photos and promptly paid for their services, Carey opted to remain off-camera and left without settling his bill. According to the barber, Adam Mahmood, the shop doesn’t accept credit cards, leaving Carey owing £30 for his new look.
“They all came in just before we shut. We cut their hair and had a great laugh,” Mahmood shared with The Sun. Yet when it came to payment, Carey found himself short on cash. Despite the proximity of a cash machine and their hotel, the Aussie cricketer promised to transfer the money later instead.
Mahmood, showing understanding and patience, agreed to wait until the end of the third Test for Alex Carey to fulfill his promise. “Maybe he forgot. I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt but if it’s not paid by Monday, I won’t be happy,” he commented, revealing his leniency and faith in the Australian cricketer’s word.

An intriguing tale involving Australian wicketkeeper-batter Alex Carey and a £30 haircut has now surfaced
This incident adds another layer to Alex Carey’s controversial persona during the Ashes series. The wicketkeeper-batter has already attracted criticism and the label ‘cheat’ for his dismissal of England’s Jonny Bairstow during the second Test at Lord’s. Alex Carey’s quick reflexes and precision resulted in Bairstow being stumped after he stepped out of his crease to dodge a bouncer from Cameron Green. The dismissal stirred a debate among cricket pundits, who questioned if the act was in keeping with the ‘Spirit of the Game’.
As the on-field drama of the Ashes 2023 unfolds, this off-field narrative around Carey and his unpaid haircut adds an unexpected twist. While Carey’s cricketing prowess is undeniable, it seems his escapades in England extend beyond the cricket pitch. The cricketing world now awaits Carey’s response, hoping he remembers his promise and pays the £30, restoring Mahmood’s faith and ending this hair-raising saga.
