India vs England: The 'Bazball' effect on England Test Cricket - A steep challenge for India

Firstpost  

This England team is different. On 1 July as India play against England in the rescheduled Test match, McCullum will face India, albeit in a different capacity. The Kiwi ‘keeper took over the role of England’s head coach in May 2022 and since then his ideology of ‘Bazball’ has proliferated over the entire English team. A fine instance of the ‘Bazball’ is the third Test match between England and New Zealand last week. The return of ever young Anderson and Broad, Joe Root’s improvisation of batting style, and Jack Leach bowling in the first hour of an English Test match are all illustrations of it.
