England legend Steve Harmison has criticised the schedule for this summer's Ashes series, with all five Tests crammed into a 46-day window.
The highly-anticipated series will begin on June 16 at Edgbaston and is due to end just six weeks later on July 31 at the Oval, with the third edition of The Hundred getting underway the very next day.
And Harmison believes that with white-ball cricket now "condensing Test cricket", England will find it "very difficult" to get the best out of "prized asset" James Anderson, along with express quicks Mark Wood and Jofra Archer.
