Ashes 2021: Ashes series in danger, England players threaten boycott, know why

Ashes 2021: The ‘Ashes 2021’, which is said to be the most exciting series of Test cricket, has become a cloud of crisis. It has been learned that England’s top players may boycott the Ashes series to be held in Australia later this year, as they do not want to be confined to hotel rooms for four months due to strict quarantine rules there.

According to cricket website ESPN Cricinfo, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is still adamant on sending its top players and has not thought of postponing the series. However, this has angered the senior players and support staff.

According to the report, after talks between the team and the ECB officials, the chances of playing a relatively weak England team in the Ashes have increased. The players are upset with the ECB’s attitude as it has vehemently denied their demand to postpone the tour partially or completely.

As a result, they are considering their options, the report said, which is understood to include making a collective decision to boycott the tour of the entire team. This also includes coaching and support staff.

History of Ashes series is 138 years old

This biggest series of Test cricket was started in 1882-83. This series, being played between England and Australia for almost 138 years, has always seen a tough competition. The special thing about this series is that the trophy of this series has remained the same since 1882, only the team winning the series deserves it.
