Xtra Time Web Desk : Former England Cricket Team Captain and legendary batter Kevin Pietersen on Tuesday came out in an explosive fashion to speak against ‘bio bubbles’ which is known to be a precautionary measure for prevention of COVID-19.
In his recent tweet, Pietersen stated, “Strict bio-bubbles for players & coaching staff needs to be abolished for good ASAP! They’re ruining what’s meant to be the best job in the world now. Players & staff are DONE with them!”
The former England batter’s suggestion is radical one compared to the balanced approach of workload management advocated by the likes of India Test captain Virat Kohli and former head coach Ravi Shastri who have also warned that bubble fatigue among players will hurt the game.
Earlier, prior to the ongoing Ashes in Australia, there were also reports that top English players could boycott the high-profile five-match series as they don’t want to be confined to their hotel rooms for close to four months due to strict quarantine rules Down Under.
The matter was, however, resolved after talks between players’ representatives, the England and Wales Cricket Board, Cricket Australia and the Australian government.
