Former captain Nasser Hussain has criticized the lack of Australian empathy for the English players because doubts continue whether Joe Root and his team will travel for this year’s ash series.
England is scheduled to play the first five tests against the Paine team team in Gabba in Brisbane from December 8, but doubts have been appointed for whether the root and the players will travel because of the strict quarantine steps of Australia.
“England has played 18 test matches since the start of Pandemi in March 2020,” Hussain wrote in the daily letter column.
“It’s more than someone else – and 14 more than Australia, the four tests come home against India last winter.” I am quite proud of the way the English test team has maintained a difficult situation in difficult conditions, moving and out of bubbles and spending time away from their families.
“This is draining.
Mental health suffers.
So for people in Australia to start telling them, and telling them that they have to suck it, rather rich.” Cricket Australia has negotiated with the authorities and the UK for the condition of the course and whether the family of players can visit during the Christmas and New Year period.
Australia has a hat on international arrival and there is a quarantine hotel 14 days must even be fully vaccinated.
Paine said last week that Abu would advance despite being reluctant to travel.
“Unless you spend time in bubbles – and some of these people have done it repeatedly – you can’t leave someone else about how they have to behave,” Hussain wrote.
“This is a subtle balancing action for root and Ashley Giles, Director Cricket.” They must consider the mental health of the players when they prepare to enter other bubbles on one of the toughest tours of all.
But they also know their only chance to win in Australia is if everyone is on the ship.
“That’s why I don’t like this easy judgment from the other side of the world.
If the last 18 months have taught us anything, of course it’s the importance of empathy.”
