PAK vs ENG: Former cricketer says India's cancellation of Manchester Test NOTHING compared to England pull-out of Pakistan tour

Former England skipper Mike Atherton was furious with ECB’s decision to back out of Pakistan tour, especially citing bio-bubble fatigue as the main cause.

Former England skipper and current commentator Mike Atherton is railing against the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) following their withdrawal of men and women’s Pakistan tours. Notably, ECB’s decision came just a few days after New Zealand abandoned their tour of Pakistan, citing a security threat.

The ECB cited bio-bubble fatigue, physical and mental well-being of their players as the reason behind their decision to not send their men's and women's teams to Pakistan.

Meanwhile, Atherton was furious with ECB’s decision to back out of their commitment, especially citing bio-bubble fatigue as the main cause. The 53-year-old Atherton feels that the ECB has forgotten what the Pakistan players went through when they toured England when the pandemic was raging.
