Ashes 2021/22: Lyon wonders why England cricketers aren’t ‘jumping at the opportunity’ – Cricket | BCCI | ICC | IPL News | Sports,Cricket

Hobart, Oct 9 : Australian spin bowler Nathan Lyon has said that the Ashes is the pinnacle in his eyes and he couldnt understand why England cricketers arent jumping at the opportunity to be a part of the series.With the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) giving conditional approval to the 2021/22 Ashes in Australia, it means that the tour scheduled to start in December is on.

However, ECB also said tha" "several critical consideratio"s" will need to be met in the coming days."Its been a bit different, to be honest.

The way I look at it, you want to be part of the biggest series going around, and the Ashes is the pinnacle in my eyes," Lyon said to SENs Jack and Painey."Its the type of series that really makes peoples careers.

I dont understand why people wouldnt be jumping at the opportunity to firstly come out to Australia, and secondly be part of an Ashes series, its going to be pretty amazing," added Lyon, who has taken 85 wickets in 23 Ashes matches since 2013.Lyon was saddened that Jofra Archer will be unavailable due to injury.

The 33-year-old has kept his fingers crossed on Ben Stokess availability for the five-match series."On a serious note, its disappointing that the best players arent able to come out, like Jofra (Archer) and fingers crossed Stokesy (Stokes) gets out here so we can have a really good competition agai"st him," concluded Lyon.

The 2021/22 Ashes is scheduled to start from December 8 with The Gabba in Brisbane to host the first Test #Ashes #Lyon #wonders #England #cricketers #opportunity #Cricket #BCCI #ICC #IPL.
