England won the T20 World Cup in Australia to firmly establish themselves as the best white-ball team of the era and set out to revolutionise Test cricket with an equally bold approach to the longest format of the game.
After years of underachieving as a 50-overs side, Eoin Morgan led England to their maiden ODI World Cup triumph in 2019 and three years later Jos Buttler guided them to their second T20 World Cup title and made them the first team to possess both limited-overs crowns.
And it took a 4-0 Ashes drubbing in Australia, and an equally dispiriting tour of West Indies, to force what the British media termed a “red-ball reset”.Ben Stokes replaced Joe Root as Test captain and former New Zealand skipper Brendon McCullum came on board as coach, with the partnership yielding spectacular, and immediate, results.
Even those who doubted if the radical approach would succeed abroad have turned staunch “Bazball” believers after England registered their first series win in Pakistan since 2000-01. It was also Pakistan's first“We're trying to make Test cricket as exciting as the short formats,” Stokes said after England conjured up one of their greatest away victories in Rawalpindi.Stokes insists England are not interested in draws and do not mind losing in their single-minded pursuit of victory.
