Phil Tufnell identifies key change to be made if England are to recover from Ashes mess

Former England Test spinner Phil Tufnell has called for changes to be made to the county cricket calendar following the latest Ashes debacle down under.

In April and May, Tufnell, 55, will be joined by colleague Jonathan Agnew on a 20-date live Test Match Special [TMS] tour, with the iconic duo set to regale audiences with the highlights of their careers, both on the field and in the commentary box.

And in an interview with The Mirror , 'The Cat' admitted "the England shambles down in Australia might get a mention."

Tufnell himself played in 12 Ashes Tests during an international career that spanned 11 years, with one of his finest hours coming in 1997 at The Oval when he took match figures of 11-93 to secure a dramatic home victory.
