England’s preparations disrupted by rain and Covid concerns‘Around the Ashes, there’s always certain things go on’Jos Buttler has said the team which best deals with the distractions around the Ashes will win the series as he arrived in England’s camp in Brisbane before the opening Test. The wicketkeeper joined his teammates on Tuesday following a period of quarantine on the Gold Coast after the T20
World Cup, with no play expected on day one of the side’s second planned warm-up match against
England Lions due to consistent rain in Queensland.
Buttler was direct when asked about the difficulties in preparation for both an Australia side recovering from the shock resignation of former captain Tim Paine and his team’s recent lack of time on the field. “Around the Ashes, there’s always certain things go on and the guys that can deal with the distractions an Ashes series throws up … is the team that’s going to play best,” the 31-year-old told reporters in an interview from England’s hotel.
