'England Ashes prep borders on arrogance'

LORD Ian Botham claims England’s Ashes warm-up schedule “borders on arrogance” and worries they will head into the series underprepared.

Botham, who was part of two victorious tours of Australia in 1978-79 and 1986-87, starred for his country in an era when teams enjoyed long buildups against state sides and is concerned about what awaits Ben Stokes’ squad Down Under.

They will play a single three-day warm-up against the travelling England Lions at Lilac Hill before walking out for the first Test at Perth’s Optus Stadium on November 21.

Speaking on the first episode of the Old Boys, New Balls Podcast with England rugby union great Sir Bill Beaumont, Botham said: “I'm worried. We're going to wander in and have a little game with the ‘A’ team.
