LONDON: England cricketers had no role in the team’s decision to abandon their tour of Pakistan next month, the players’ union has said. England followed suit this week, calling off their men’s and women’s teams tour of Pakistan, citing players’ “mental and physical well-being”. Team England Player Partnership, which represents England’s international players, said the cricketers were not asked for input. “At no stage has the ECB ever asked TEPP or the teams, men and women, whether the tour should go ahead or whether players were prepared to tour Pakistan. Former players have criticised the England and Wales Cricket Board’s decision.
