    McCullum Wants To Declutter England's Approach In White-ball Cricket Too

    By IANS News January 20, 2025 • 22:38 PM View: 996
    World Champions India: Having transformed England's approach to Test cricket with his concept of an all-out aggressive approach to batting, Brendon McCullum takes his coaching concepts to the slam-bang T20 cricket when he takes over as coach for a five-match T20I series against World Champions India starting at the Eden Gardens here on Wednesday.

    McCullum, the promoter of Bazball cricket in the longest format of the game, steps into white-ball cricket with the five-match T20I series followed by three ODIs against India and leading up to the Champions Trophy in Pakistan and Dubai in February-March. On Monday, the former New Zealand opener, who is quite known in India for hammering an unbeaten 158 off 73 balls for Kolkata Knight Riders in the first-ever match of the Indian Premier League in 2008, said he will attempt to change England's approach and make them play freely rather than going for victory in every match.

    As they get ready to take on the reigning T20 World Champions, McCullum said England's batting lineup is "as powerful as anyone's in the World" and said he will try to get the best out of every player.
