Withdraws from the Big Bash as living in the bio bubble is harder than he thought it would be.

Fair play to him, health comes first.

Agreed but I'm surprised it's that restrictive in Australia

It might not be for the general public but they aren't letting travellers in so would imagine it will be for sportspeople travelling there to play.

Yeah, the fact he's struggling means there obviously are restrictions, I just didn't expect there to be. Shame for him but hopefully he'll have a relatively normal summer and this will be a footnote in his career.

He’s not there yet mind

Maybe they've told him what it'll involve and he's thought, nah not for me. Was he involved in England's bio bubble in the summer? Maybe he struggled in that environment.

Played in the IPL which I imagine was similar. Guess he needed a break

I really hope not but maybe he had an anxiety attack like Trescothick just at the thought of going into the bubble? I'm sure he, or someone, is looking out for his best interests.

His tweet talks about the prospect of 14 day quarantine. So would assume he hasn’t arrived yet

 

[WCC]

A few players have posted on social meida what looked like small hotel rooms that they needed to quarentine in for 14 days so i would imagine if you were already not in a great mindset that wouldnt be the best.

Bumfluff Curran has also pulled out

Think this lad is going to be very good
