If I Was An English Player I'd Already Be On My Way For Ashes: Ian Botham
Former all-rounder Ian Botham said that if he was in the place of the current Test players in England, he would have already packed his bags to go for the Ashes in Australia at the end of the year. He also wondered if some of the players in the current Test side don't want to take on the ultimate Test.
"It's the ultimate test and - I don't know - I start to wonder if maybe some of these guys don't fancy the ultimate test. You have to start to worry about it. Playing for England is the ultimate. To play Test cricket for England is the ultimate and to play against Australia in Australia - and win - is magnificent," said Botham in an interview to The Telegraph.
