England's Test series win over West Indies shows the team's 'progression' but they are 'not the finished article' according to coach Brendon McCullum.
England's emphatic Test series win over West Indies has shown the team's "progression" but they are "not the finished article", according to coach Brendon McCullum.
"I thought, overall, it was a progression of where we wanted to get to as a team," he told BBC Test Match Special. McCullum and Stokes had decided to reshape it this summer with one eye on the 2025-26 Ashes in Australia. "Having different types of options in your armoury in a bowling attack is obviously key, especially when it's flat, when it's not really offering you much in the air or off the wicket."McCullum has been particularly impressed with two players who made their Test debuts during the series.
"You need to be prepared to take risks and he's happy to do that, and he backs himself that he's got the power game when the field is out.
