Ashes off-field nightmare continues for England - Senior player found to be 'overweight'

England’s captain arrived in Perth in early November. The England Lions were there and some of the fast bowlers. Many of England’s batsmen were enjoying their latest idyllic golf-and-beer holiday in New Zealand. But at least one senior player was sent to Perth earlier than planned because he turned up on tour overweight. He was not alone in being considered unfit. Saker, who has worked with teams all around the world and was part of England’s 2010-11 Ashes-winning backroom team, was said to be shocked at the approach of some of this new generation’s bowlers to fitness and conditioning compared to the old guard. #Ashes2026 #EnglandCricket #CricketNews #AshesOffField #CricketUpdate #SeniorPlayerNews #EnglandTeamNews #CricketControversy #TeamEngland #CricketHeadlines #AshesSeries #CricketDrama #EnglandSquad #SportsNews #CricketBuzz We talk sport 24x7, 365 days a year.
