Ollie Pope Says Idea England 'Weren't Fussed' About The Ashes Was Tough To Take

By AFP News March 17, 2026 • 21:51 PM View: 234

Ollie Pope believes the idea England "weren't fussed" during their woeful Ashes tour of Australia was unfair on the squad but understands why the "misperception" became lodged in the minds of many fans and pundits.

Ben Stokes' tourists went down to a 4-1 series loss to Australia over five Tests in 2025/26, with the troubled campaign still the subject of an England and Wales Cricket Board review.
