Ashes: England tour of Australia to go ahead 'subject to conditions'
England men's Ashes series in Australia this winter will go
ahead "subject to several critical conditions", says the England and
Wales Cricket Board.
England had concerns over their families being allowed to
travel, quarantine and 'bubble' arrangements amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The five-Test series is due to begin on 8 December and end
on 18 January.
The ECB said that "over recent weeks we have made
excellent progress in moving forward" on the men's Ashes tour.
A statement read: "To facilitate further progress and
allow a squad to be selected, the ECB board has met today and given its
approval for the tour to go ahead. This decision is subject to several critical
conditions being met before we travel.
"We look forward to the ongoing assistance from Cricket
Australia in resolving these matters in the coming days."
England will name an Ashes squad in the coming days.
