Australia has strong quarantine regulations in place, and this is why it’s believed to be to blame.

The English cricket team has been upset with the ECB’s decision to completely reject a postponement of the Ashes visits in any capacity.
Some of the best English players are considering boycotting the Ashes series against Australia at the end of this year because they don’t want to be forced to spend the next three or four months in their hotel rooms because of tight quarantine laws in the country.

“The players were upset because of the quarantine, which was explained to be necessary. Despite rumors of permission to utilize a Gold Coast resort hotel, it’s said that they are expected to spend two or three hours each day exercising out of their hotel rooms.
“There is a chance that the squad will be forced to stay in a “bubble” to avoid facing complications when going between states. Meanwhile, families may still have to spend 14 days in a hotel room to satisfy the “hard” quarantine, “In addition, it stated.
