England's Ashes prep borders on arrogance – Ian
Sunderland Echo
|October 14, 2025
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 build ups 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.
