'That Certainly Wasn't What We Were Talking About': Tim Paine Defends Controversial Remark

By IANS News October 22, 2021 • 13:27 PM View: 1495

Australian Test skipper Tim Paine is trying to mend fences with England pace bowler Jimmy Anderson after the wicketkeeper-batter's controversial remarks that "no one is forcing them (England)" to come and play in Australia.

The Joe Root-led England side begin their five-Test Ashes tour next month after Cricket Australia (CA) convinced the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) that the country's quarantine rules won't be as stringent as were being portrayed. CA also reportedly made concessions by allowing the families of the England players to accompany them and hosting them in a private resort during Christmas and New Year.
