Players of Australia and England reached Queensland on the same plane for Ashes

Australia, England Share Same Flight For Ashes: The visit to Queensland was an interesting one for England players playing in various formats as they arrived here on the same plane that was carrying the T20 world champion and his arch-rivals Australian team. According to cricket.com.au, players like Jos Buttler, Jonny Bairstow, David Malan, Chris Woakes and Mark Wood and members of England’s coaching team arrived here on Tuesday by special aircraft along with champions Australia for the Ashes series.

Special aircraft were arranged for the members of both the teams to follow the Kovid-19 guidelines before going on segregation in the Gold Coast. England had a stellar performance in the Super 12 of the T20 World Cup, including an eight-wicket win against Australia, but lost to New Zealand in the semi-finals.

Australia, on the other hand, reached its peak at the right time and won the T20 World Cup for the first time by defeating New Zealand on Sunday. Former England captain Mike Atherton jokingly told Sky Sports after Australia’s win, “There’s a bunch of cricketers that won’t be enjoying it and they’re England players going to Australia to participate in the Ashes.” . This plane journey can be interesting.

‘The players of both the countries know each other’

Australian fast bowler Josh Hazlewood refused to believe that sharing the same flight would be inconvenient, but England’s Mark Wood was unconvinced by the prospect of flying with world champion Aussies. Hazlewood had said before the trip, ‘There will be no problem in this. We have played a lot of cricket with him – county cricket and IPL. Everyone knows each other, it won’t be a problem.

Wood, on the other hand, told the BBC, ‘I can’t see them (Australia) winning. It will be unbearable.’ “You can congratulate them by looking into their eyes, but when you are going to play an Ashes series against them, you don’t want them to be overconfident and wave the trophy in front of you,” he said. The first Ashes Test between the two teams will start from December 8 at the Gabba.
