Brook 'ticking the boxes' for England

McCullum and Stokes forged an instant bond when they took charge of England's Test team three years ago, lifting a side that had lost direction and giving it new purpose.

Now the head coach is overseeing another rebuild in limited-overs cricket, working with Brook to restore England’s reputation after a drab conclusion to Jos Buttler’s reign.

England kicked off the ‘Bazball’ era with a series of thrilling Test victories in the summer of 2022 and have started strongly again, whitewashing the West Indies 3-0 in both ODI and T20 formats to begin this chapter in style.
