    ‘It’s The Way Of Modern Game’: Trescothick Defends Team’s Minimal Preps Ahead Of Ashes Opener

    After Ian Botham: England batting coach Marcus Trescothick has defended the team’s minimal preparation for the upcoming Ashes series, stating that not engaging in several warm-up matches against local teams reflects the current norms of the modern game.

    Over the past week, tourists have gradually arrived in Perth, with their full squad, including several players returning from a limited-overs tour of New Zealand, coming together for a training session that lasted over two hours at Lilac Hill in Perth’s eastern suburbs on Tuesday.

    They will begin a three-day match against their ‘A’ side, the England Lions, at the venue from Thursday. However, unlike in 2013 and 2017, their preparation for the first Test of the series will not feature a game against a WA side.
