Australia to face new style of play in Ashes series

Mitchell Starc has noted a shift in England’s Bazball strategy during their recent Test series against India, indicating a more tactical approach aimed at winning games rather than merely scoring rapidly. Under coach Brendon McCullum, England’s run rate has decreased by 10% over the last two years, with players adapting their aggression to read match situations better. Despite a mixed record since the 2023 Ashes, the upcoming series against Australia is expected to be competitive, with both teams aware of England’s evolving playing style.
