Michael Vaughan believes that theEngland cricket team players are 'fearful' of asking captain Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum for some game-time in the upcoming practice matches.

England head coach Brendon McCullum believes his team is prepared for the Ashes series that could be 'defining' for them.

Australia batter Usman Khawaja's first run-in with Brendon McCullum, during the 2011 Test series between Australia and New Zealand, was far from pleasant, as per Fox Cricket.

England will play just one match in their preparation ahead of the Ashes Test series against Australia Down Under.

Former England captain Michael Vaughan believes the upcoming Ashes series will present the perfect opportunity for Test skipper Ben Stokes to leave his mark as leader, urging the all-rounder to "deliver" and bring the urn back to England.

England have announced the squad for their five-match Ashes Test series against Australia more than two months before the start of the series.

Ollie Pope, who was named vice-captain in 2023, has stood in as skipper five times, most recently during the fifth Test against India when Stokes was sidelined with a shoulder injury.

McCullum took over England's Test side in 2022, and he, along with captain Ben Stokes, revived a team that had won one match in 17.

After picking Shubman Gill's name for the 'Player of the Series' honour, England coach Brendon McCullum wanted to change it. Dinesh Karthik has explained why.

After the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series against India ended in a 2-2 draw, England head coach Brendon McCullum called it the best five-match Test series he has ever been involved in and seen in his cricketing journey.
