Sky Sports Cricket: Rob Key, ECB’s managing director of cricket, has asked for England's Test team players to show full commitment towards thriving in the ‘Bazball’ age of playing longer format.

Since captain Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum have took over, England’s Test fortunes have made a stunning turnaround through an attacking brand of cricket and creating an environment where players prosper, with hardwork and commitment being the main pillars behind it.

"It's not easy to do, but what the great leaders have done is they've created an environment that people are desperate to play. Then you have a time like we've done, where it's very relaxed, and you want everyone to go out there and express themselves, and they have a bit of golf, and you have a bit of time off."
