England will aim to get ‘Bazball’ back on track this summer against West Indies and Pakistan.
Zak Crawley insists England will not adopt a “negative” approach after their recent 4-1 series defeat in India but acknowledged they must learn when to absorb pressure.
“That’s not to say we’re going to get more negative. We will still try to play the way we have and try to score quickly but yeah, picking those moments where they’re on top and we need to absorb. However, seven defeats have followed from the next 12 matches and a lack of a ruthless streak has cost England at times.
“We should have won in Ranchi, I think, to make it 2-2 and then you never know how the last one goes. “Over five days, their skills are always going to come out and they are a phenomenal team. It was a really enjoyable tour though, we gave it a good crack and there is a lot to learn from.”
