New England and Wales Cricket Board chairman Giles Clarke has warned players may face suspensions if they fail to adhere to disciplinary rules.
Clarke said he would consider banning one-day captain Paul Collingwood and Andrew Flintoff if there was a repeat of their recent misdemeanours.
He told BBC 5Live: "I don't see any reason why they shouldn't be [banned].
"I'm confident everyone will understand that with privilege and money comes responsibility," he added.
Earlier this month England fined Collingwood £1,000 after he went to a lap-dancing club on the eve of Sunday's Twenty20 match against South Africa.
In March Flintoff was sacked as England vice-captain following a drinking session.
After leaving a nightclub close to the team's St Lucia hotel, Flintoff got into a pedalo in the early hours and later needed to be rescued after falling off it, according to media reports.
Giles added: "We're not going to get proper athletes and a decent team if people do not have the right attitude as professionals in their sport.
"Head coach Peter Moores is clear on what he wants to see happen and has set down perameters on what is expected.
"We need serious professionalism at all levels if we're going to win the Ashes back."

What do you make of him?
I think he is going to be good for the game and England, sounds like a winning mentality to me. How he'll act in regard to the ICC and the global politics of the game, we'll just have to wait and seen.
