'You don't get to lecture other people on how they should behave': Hussain hits out at Australia over Ashes advice

Hindustan Times  

Former captain Nasser Hussain has hit out at Australia for not understanding the seriousness of bio-bubbles and its implications after several members questioned England's reluctance in traveling Down Under for a five-Test Ashes series. That's five more than anyone else - and 14 more than Australia, whose four Tests all came at home against India last winter," Hussain wrote in his column for The Daily Mail. Last week, Australia captain Tim Paine had said that the series will go ahead with out without captain Joe Root who has not fully committed to be part of the tour because of the uncertainty regarding arrangements in Australia, and even took a dig at Kevin Pietersen, calling him an 'expert in everything'. "When Tim Paine, Australia's Test captain, spoke recently I didn't hear much empathy from a fellow professional.
