India to be the next test for England’s ‘Bazball’, says Nasser Hussain

The Hindu  

England’s highly entertaining “Bazball” approach will face a test when the team travels to India next year for a five-match Test series, England captain Nasser Hussain believes. Under coach Brendon “Baz” McCullum and captain Ben Stokes, England’s result-oriented approach to Test cricket once again enthralled fans as it overturned a 2-0 deficit to level the Ashes series against Australia 2-2. “It’s the next test for Bazball,” Chennai-born Hussain said in the latest episode of the ICC Review. Zak Crawley has personified England’s swashbuckling batting and the opener said the series in India would be an “amazing opportunity” to test their philosophy.
