England 'confident' of Ashes tour amid travel negotiations
The Peninsula
LONDON - The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is "very confident" the end of year Ashes tour will go ahead as planned even though negotiations are continuing over travel and quarantine restrictions in Australia.
England will play the Twenty20 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates in October-November before heading to Australia and players who feature in both are likely to spend four months away from home. England players are seeking assurances their family members would be allowed to join them in Australia and the ECB is currently in talks with Cricket Australia to secure that passage.More Related News
