Brendon McCullum emphasized that England must adopt a more relentless approach against spin following their 4-1 Twenty20 series loss to India. He noted that while players seem focused on six-hitting, adapting to the turning ball is crucial in T20 cricket. India’s Varun Chakravarthy was particularly effective, earning recognition for his impressive performance. McCullum believes that their understanding of spin has evolved and insists on consistently applying pressure. As they prepare for the World Cup, they need to build experience and adapt their strategies accordingly.
Varun Chakravarthy was their main source of discomfort, the leg-spinner named the player of the series after taking 14 wickets at 9.85.
We want to keep trying to apply pressure. Particularly when they've got such a good batting lineup, you don't really have a time where you can just take time out of the game.
Rome wasn't built in a day. I think we've seen a pretty clear gameplan of how we want to play the game.
I think it's too far to forecast that. The good thing about a series like this is it builds that bank of knowledge of playing in these conditions.
