Former England captain Michael Atherton has branded Australia "homesick travellers", following comments from several players comparing an Ashes win in England to beating India in India.
Australia are currently touring India for a four Test series ahead of a trip to England to defend the Ashes later this summer. And, speaking ahead of their tour of India, captain Pat Cummins said: "Winning a series in India is like an Ashes away series [win] but even more rare."
Former skipper Steve Smith added: "I think if you win in India, it is bigger than an Ashes series [win]". While opener David Warner stated: "Being a part of the last Ashes was fantastic but to go to India and beat India in India is the toughest challenge in Test cricket for us."
