New captain Ben Stokes said England will approach their batting with the same aggressive approach as they showed in their 3-0 series win over New Zealand in the re-conducted Test against India on Friday. A new era under Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum is characterized by a more flamboyant style and England garnered immediate rewards with their three-Test clean sweep against New Zealand, the reigning World Test champions. In each of their Test victories, England dug themselves out of tough conditions, scoring formidable goals as the Kiwis bowled over. They now meet India in a rearranged test from last year’s series at Edgbaston, with no plans to step off the accelerator.
“Trust me when I say we will come with exactly the same mindset, even if it’s different oppositions,” Stokes said after England’s comprehensive seven-wicket win at Headingley on Monday.
“For me, when I took over, it was more than the results. It was about changing the mindset of boys towards Test cricket, about having fun and enjoying the fact that you are representing your country.
“And then the result will be seen for itself. We’ve done it so quickly, it’s unbelievable,” said Stokes, who was particularly happy with the buy-in from his team-mates after taking over from Joe Root.
“Being 55-6 (in the first innings), and then doing what we managed to do, and the way we did it, was probably the happiest thing of the series, because it could have been too easy for us to go back to our shell. In. ,
He also praised the role of McCullum, who on Monday said he was looking forward to making it easier for the English team to play Test cricket.
“I’ve tried to put things away, keep things quiet, ignore the outside noise,” McCallum said of his approach to a new dressing room.
“I want to try to bring these guys a little closer together and understand their game better. In professional sports sometimes we sit in a group and instead of being able to bounce things off a few of our teammates, our I get pretty caught up in my own stuff. My role is to try and put a little more emphasis on that and try and give people as much confidence as I can,” said the former New Zealand captain.
