Rory Burns Says Playing Grade Cricket In Australia Earlier Would Help Him In Upcoming Ashes Series

By IANS News November 07, 2021 • 17:18 PM View: 2071

England opener Rory Burns has said that he is prepared for Ashes inauguration and the experience of playing grade cricket in Australia will hold him in good stead for the five-Test series starting next month.

A core of England's squad, including Burns, captain Joe Root, Jimmy Anderson and Ben Stokes touched down in Brisbane this week and is currently serving three days of confinement to their hotel rooms before they can undertake training at the Gold Coast's Metricon Stadium. The rest of England's squad will fly in after the T20 World Cup in preparation for the first Ashes Test at the Gabba on December 8.
