While former England star Mark Butcher said he was "furious" players would potentially skip the Ashes series<\/a> due to travel concerns, Hussain opposed that idea.<\/p>\n "I'm quite proud of the way in which England's Test team have kept the show on the road in difficult circumstances, moving in and out of bubbles and spending time away from their families. It's draining.
