'It's factually incorrect that we don't train'- McCullum on England's preparation

During his tour of India, England’s head coach Brendon McCullum has denied claims that his players did not take practice sessions seriously, calling the practice method “factually incorrect.” Both the ODI and T20I series saw England lose by a significant margin (3-0 and 4-1, respectively), sparking rumors regarding their training philosophy and approach.

England’s players, with the exception of Joe Root, had not practiced in the nets during the series, according to Ravi Shastri and Kevin Pietersen’s observations during the third ODI’s television commentary. England did not do net sessions prior to the second and third matches in Cuttack and Ahmedabad, despite having practiced before the first ODI in Nagpur.

In an interview following England’s 142-run loss in the most recent ODI, Brendon McCullum denied all of these allegations.

To begin with, the entire claim that we don’t train is untrue. We’ve had a lot of training throughout. Several of our players have also played a lot of cricket. Saying that players don’t train enough is a simple criticism when our results aren’t satisfactory, he said.

He restates that in preparation for the forthcoming Champions Trophy, England has a clear game plan and a disciplined approach to training. With a big assignment approaching, we have guys fighting injuries and making sure we have enough healthy bodies on the field. We’re going to stick to our convictions.”

Additionally, the team’s captain, Jos Buttler, defended the team’s work ethic by denying that their subpar performances were the consequence of a lack of dedication and effort. “We’ve had a reasonably long tour with a few long travel days,” he commented. Although we have done a lot of training, there have been occasions when we haven’t. Please don’t take our efforts to create a positive atmosphere for being lazy. “The guys really want to perform better,” he remarked.

McCullum, who took over as white-ball coach in January, claimed that the India trip had given him important knowledge and understanding before the Champions Trophy in Pakistan. As he put it, “I’ve learned a lot,” “We have exceptionally talented players. Adding craft and boosting confidence will help that talent thrive. There is a lot to move ahead with, despite the disappointing outcomes.

England will now reassemble in the United Arab Emirates prior to facing Australia in their Champions Trophy opening encounter on February 22. They have recruited Tom Banton to the squad in place of injured Jacob Bethell.
