Former England captain Michael Vaughan believes going back to Australia Ashes This is the opportunity of a lifetime for England. He also said that if players prefer the Ashes instead of the men’s T20 World Cup, it will send a strong message about the importance of Test cricket.
“If that happens, it will be hard for them to be away from family over Christmas, but we are in unprecedented times. Sometimes in life you have to do things you don’t want to do. But go to Australia and win back the Ashes There’s an opportunity of a lifetime. It’s like playing in the Super Bowl. You can only get one chance,” Vaughan wrote in his column for The Telegraph on Sunday.
“It’s been a tough time living with biobulbs and restrictions. Players should feel like they’ve been living in the Big Brother house for the past 18 months. I understand why they must be fed up with all the trouble and desperate for it.” His family with him this winter.
“After all they’ve been through it, it could go down as the greatest Ashes win. It must be tempting to think you can be remembered forever because the group that went out to Australia, Was quarantined, spent weeks away from his family but won the Ashes back against the odds. What a story,” said Vaughan.
Vaughan feels England can claim the Ashes if the players are fully committed to Australia’s Ashes journey. England last won the Ashes in Australia in 2010/11.
“England have only one chance if everyone is committed. We can’t have players going into the Twenty20 World Cup and then play two or three Ashes Tests and go home. England have to beat Australia. The only chance is to have a group of players ready to go through ten tough weeks.
“What frustrates me is that not one player has said that he is willing to miss out on the Twenty20 World Cup to play in Australia. We have another T20 World Cup next year, but another It will be four years before the Ashes tour. I would love to hear a player say that he will miss the T20 World Cup and the West Indies tour to play in the Ashes in March. What is the message about what Test cricket means Will go
“But if we have players who say ‘I’ll go to the T20 World Cup, come home and then go back to the Caribbean with my family in February’, then IPL‘, so they’re playing the system. When they play for England we can’t have pick and choose players,” concluded the 46-year-old.
