The Ashes 2021-22: No Team Should Be Using That As Excuse – Jos Buttler On Disruption In Preparations Before The Much-Awaited Series

England wicketkeeper-batsman Jos Buttler has said that any disruption in preparations due to unpleasant weather conditions or anything else should not be used as an excuse for the performance of a team in the game.

The five-Test Ashes 2021-22 series is scheduled to begin from December 8 at the Gabba, Brisbane, and the Ashes finale is scheduled to be played at the Perth Stadium from January 14. However, it looks like the 5th Test match might be moved from Perth due to strict Covid-19 rules and regulations of Western Australia.

Meanwhile, England T20 World Cup 2021 players, including Jos Buttler, finally finished their quarantine and joined the rest of the Test squad on the Gold Coast on Tuesday.

In The COVID Era, Things Have Changed Quite A Lot – Jos Buttler

Due to the rain, the Day 1 of the Queensland intra-squad match was washed out. However, Buttler has said that in the Covid-19 era, a lot of things have changed for players, and things have become a bit trickier. So the wicketkeeper-batsman believes that a player should be ready to walk into the game without full preparation.

“In this day and age, lots of us go between formats quite often. In the COVID era, things have changed quite a lot as well, with quarantine rules making certain things a little bit trickier.

“I do think it’s something that you just have to deal with as a modern player, to be able to walk into situations without having full preparation.

“No team should be using that as an excuse, you can still turn up on that first day and play a really good Test match,” he said.

Jos Buttler was asked to comment on the fifth Test match at Perth and the effect of Omicron coronavirus on the marquee clash, to which he replied by saying that he isn’t worried about that and his focus is on the first Test.

“I find it tiring to talk about it when you don’t know, That’s not for me to worry about at the minute. There’s a week to go until the first Test here and all our energies are focused on that,” he maintained.
