"Harry Brook says there has been no Ashes talk in the England camp as the tourists prepare for a hell of a long winter, with the white-ball captain's determination to stay in the moment so strong that he has not even noticed the ramping-up of pre-series trash talk by David Warner and Stuart Broad. The England squad arrived in Christchurch on Wednesday after the three-day bonding break in Queenstown for their six-match series against New Zealand, which concludes in Wellington"
"We're just trying to stay in the moment as long as possible, said the Test vice-captain. It's a key message we always talk about, and concentrating on that thing at that time. We've got an extremely strong New Zealand side coming up and that's the main focus. Cranking up the war of words before the first Ashes"
England's touring squad arrived in Christchurch after a three-day bonding break in Queenstown ahead of a six-match white-ball series against New Zealand that concludes in Wellington on 1 November. Three members of the Ashes squad were included in the first T20 lineup, Zak Crawley was not selected, and Gus Atkinson joined as a non-playing member while working on fitness ahead of the Perth Test. The England camp is prioritising each match in turn, concentrating on the strong New Zealand side and deliberately avoiding engagement with pre-series trash talk from David Warner and Stuart Broad.
