Hussain Wants Crawley And Pope To Prove Their Worth In NZ Test Series
The series, beginning November 28, will test England's resilience and depth, as selectors continue to emphasise an aggressive style under head coach Brendon McCullum and captain Ben Stokes. Adding further intrigue, all-rounder Jacob Bethell has been called up, while Jamie Smith will miss the tour as he awaits the arrival of his first child.
Hussain emphasised the message England’s selectors are sending to Crawley and Pope—two key players who struggled in Pakistan. Hussain noted that while England is committed to maintaining a competitive edge, Crawley and Pope must improve their form to avoid complacency. "England have selected very well. The people in the last two years, random picks, have come in and they've all done very well and look very good cricketers," Hussain told Sky Sports Cricket podcast.
