Former England Test skipper Sir Andrew Strauss has urged any England players contemplating pulling out of the Ashes tour to Australia later this year because of ‘bubble fatigue’ and increased Covid restrictions to think again and get on the plane. Bowler Stuart Broad is among players to state categorically that they will travel to Australia‘To me, the Ashes need to go ahead,’ Strauss said. ‘Personally, I think if you are selected on an Ashes tour, you should go. An Ashes tour is not the one to pull out of, in my opinion. ‘I think we are going to have to play a lot better than we did this summer, put it that way,’ Strauss added.
