England star Jos Buttler may skip Ashes series: My family has already sacrificed so much

England's wicketkeeper-batsman Jos Buttler said he might skip the end-of-year Ashes tour over concerns about being apart from his family due to Australia's COVID-19 restrictions.

England wicketkeeper-batsman Jos Buttler hinted that he may pull out of the Ashes series later in the year amid concerns about how much time he will be away from his family due to Australia's Covid-19 restrictions. Notably, Buttler has pulled out of the remainder of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 because his wife is expecting their second child. England will play the T20 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates in October and November before heading to Australia, likely keeping players who feature in both away from home for four months.
