But the summer of cricket in Australia looks very different amid a pandemic with interstate border restrictions and strict international travel caps, including mandatory hotel quarantine for overseas arrivals. Prime Minister Morrison indicated he wouldn't budge, not even for an ally.
"I would love to see the Ashes go ahead, as I shared with Boris last night," Morrison told reporters in Washington.
"But there's no special deals there, because what we're looking to have is vaccinated people being able to travel.
"I don't see a great deal of difference in skilled workers or students who will be able to come to Australia when you reach those vaccination rates.
"Those who are coming for that purpose when it comes to their profession, which is playing cricket, I don't see the difference between that and someone who's coming as a skilled, qualified engineer or someone who's coming to be ready for study."
