Ashes 21/22
Will this summers Ashes actually happen with the crazy state border lockdowns ?
England wicketkeeper Jos Buttler has made it clear he would likely opt out of touring Australia if his family aren’t able to travel or are forced into hard quarantine, while captain Joe Root noted he is waiting for more information.

Re: Ashes 21/22
No matter what happens, there will be outcries from sections of society (here and abroad).
Personally, I hope they allow them all to come, including partners etc, assuming proof of vaccination. If not, then why the hell are vaccinations the key to "opening up"?
Disclaimer: ....only if fully vaxed Aussies abroad with genuine reasons to come home aren't shunned aside instead.

Re: Ashes 21/22
It will become an issue if more senior English players decide to not to tour.

Re: Ashes 21/22
Just cancel it and award the series to AUS 5 -0, like previously.
