Did englandcricket's players use Covid-19 to their advantage in order to get out of the country to ensure they got to Australia in the next week unscathed to play in the lucrative BigBashT20? By mark_keohane. | IOLsport

THOSE English national squad ODI cricketers, who have been in South Africa for the past month for the T20s and preparing for the ODI’s, in the past week did cricket in this country a major disservice.

If this was not enough of a justification in their eyes, they claimed they feared for the situation when they witnessed the Proteas squad enjoying a squad braai at the Vineyard.These profound questions weren’t being asked when England’s powerful T20 squad were pounding the Proteas into submission. Would these players have been so insistent if they were going back to Tier Three lockdown in a wet and cold English December?My tone when typing this was filled with sarcasm and, this week, I’ve a particular distaste for those English cricketers who professed such concern for their own health, but had no issue in getting on a plane straight to Australia to play in the Big Bash.There is no guarantee anywhere in the world that any bio-bubble is bullet-proof.
