The ECB have enlisted the help of the Government to try to salvage this winter’s Ashes tour, which has been placed into doubt due to Australia’s refusal to allow visits from England players’ families.
It is understood that Government officials are lobbying their Australian counterparts to seek an exemption to the country’s closed-border policy which, as Sportsmail revealed in June, could lead to several England stars refusing to tour.
The ECB are supportive of the players’ stance and are aware that, without the traditional Christmas and New Year visit from the families to Australia, England’s all-format players could be forced to spend four months away from loved ones — having already spent much of the past year with only their team-mates in bio-secure Covid bubbles.
