Vaughan, Pietersen slam possibility of families not travelling with England players for the Ashes

According to a report in the U.K. media, there is still uncertainty whether families of the visiting England players will be permitted to stay with them during the Ashes, beginning December 8.

Former England skipper Michael Vaughan said the iconic Ashes series should be cancelled if families are not allowed to travel with the players for the four-months long tour of Australia due to strict COVID-19 protocols. According to a report in the U.K. media, there is still uncertainty whether families of the visiting England players will be permitted to stay with them during the Ashes series, beginning December 8. “Read reports today that England cricketers may not be able to have family members with them down under this winter .. Quite simply if they can’t they should call the Ashes off .. 4 months away from your family is totally unacceptable .. #Ashes,” Vaughan wrote on his twitter handle.
