Ashes opener in danger of complete wash out - chairman - 12-03-2021
THE much-anticipated Ashes series is scheduled to kick-start December 8. However, as per the recent turn of events, it is being reported that the first Test in Brisbane might get completely washed out. This threat emerged after adverse weather forecasts over the first four days.
The rain had affected England’s preparations ahead of the high-profile series. In Queensland last week, the side were able to play only 29 overs in their three-day game with their Lions side. As heavy storms hit Brisbane on Tuesday and Wednesday, no play was possible over the first two days of their intra-squad warm-up match as well.
The first Test of the series is staged for December 8 at the Gabba. The weather conditions have already left the Joe Root-led side short of match practice and if the early forecast proves right, it might also affect the first Test. Even severe rain is scheduled for the East Coast over the course of the Test match.
