Joe Root wants Ashes clarity before committing to tour he is \u2018desperate\u2019 to play in<\/span><\/h1>\n

Joe Root says he is desperate to play in this winter\u2019s Ashes but refused to guarantee he would lead his team to Australia given the uncertainties about the Covid restrictions that will be imposed on the touring squad.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking after being named men\u2019s player of the year by the Professional Cricketers\u2019 Association, Root would not commit fully to leading the team in the ten-week tour, saying that no one could give any guarantees until they had been fully briefed by the England management this week.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI feel it\u2019s so hard to make a definite decision until you know,\u201d the England Test captain, 30, said. \u201cThat\u2019s why it\u2019s so important that we get all the information. I\u2019m desperate for part of an Ashes series. I always\u00a0am. It\u2019s that one series as an England player that you want to be involved in and that will never change. So of course, I am desperate to go. For the group, we\u2019ve all got to find out what the position is and make a decision on the back of that.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a little bit frustrating but it\u2019s where we are at. It\u2019s hard to know what will happen until we find out what conditions will be like. It\u2019s very difficult at this stage to know where everything sits.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

There is increasing hope that England will be able to travel with a strong squad after Cricket Australia gave the ECB details of the conditions under which players will be expected to live \u2014 which are understood to be less restrictive than had been feared. However, there is uncertainty and anxiety about snap lockdowns or increased restrictions imposed by individual state governments over which Cricket Australia has no control.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is understood that the players will be spoken to individually by the England team management over the next week and it is hoped that no more than a handful of players who have young families will decide they cannot commit to the tour or will ask not to be away for the whole five-Test series. Jos Buttler has indicated that he may not travel and it is understood about six others are considering their position. England will be without Jofra Archer because of an elbow injury, and it is increasingly unlikely that Ben Stokes will return to the side before next year after taking a break to protect his mental health.<\/span><\/p>\n

The volatility of the situation was highlighted last night when a Sheffield Shield match due to be played between Queensland and Tasmania in Brisbane was cancelled at the 11th hour after the Tasmania team decided to fly back to Hobart because of four new Covid cases in the state.<\/span><\/p>\n

Root was named PCA player of the year \u2014 an award that usually is given to a county player \u2014 after a rich run of form in the Test series against India, in which he scored three hundreds in as many Tests and moved to No 1 in the ICC Test batting rankings. Yorkshire\u2019s Harry Brook was named young player of the year and Eve Jones the women\u2019s player of the year \u2014 all voted for by their fellow professionals.<\/span><\/p>\n

The England captain said that he would like the abandoned fifth Test against India to be played next summer as a series decider \u2014 with India 2-1 up after four matches \u2014 rather than as a standalone Test.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt would be nice to finish the series, most importantly for the public that missed out, the people that paid to go and watch that game,\u201d Root said. \u201cIt\u2019d be great for them to get the opportunity to see that. I guess the challenge and the difficulty of it is making sure you don\u2019t dilute the product.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf it is going to overlap a series that\u2019s currently in there, are you going to get the quality that a Test match deserves? Hopefully that balance can be found because it will be great to get the opportunity to finish the series off.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
