    "editor1": "<p>Former captain Michael Vaughan fears Test cricket will become a &quot;<strong>joke<\/strong>&quot; if England rotates players in and out of their side during the 2021\/22 Ashes in Australia.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>England coach Chris Silverwood has suggested the team could continue with the controversial rest-and-rotation policy they used in Sri Lanka and India.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Joe Root&#39;s team beat Sri Lanka 2-0 before losing their four-match series in India 3-1. A number of players including Ben Stokes, Jofra Archer, Jos Buttler, Jonny Bairstow, and Moeen Ali all missed matches at some stage of the tour program.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Many observers felt the rotation policy made the already tough task of winning a series in India even more difficult.<br \/>\r\nBut England is set to play a grueling schedule of up to 17 Tests in 2021, as well as limited-overs matches including a Twenty20 World Cup.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Team management argues rotation is necessary to prevent player burnout, especially when so many fixtures will be played in bio-secure bubbles during the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;<strong>If they need rest, you get it before the Ashes,<\/strong>&quot; Vaughan said on his BBC radio program. &quot;<strong>Test match cricket is becoming a joke if that (players being rotated) happens. You make sure you get your best players available for every single Ashes Test match.<\/strong>&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Vaughan is also concerned by the possibility that players, including Buttler and Stokes, could miss the first Test against New Zealand at Lord&#39;s on June 2, depending on how long their franchisees are involved in the T20 Indian Premier League. &quot;<strong>This is where it gets frustrating for England supporters, and many in the game, that these players will go and play in the full IPL,<\/strong>&quot; he said.<\/p>\r\n",
