In the wake of a disappointing Ashes series, head coach Brendon McCullum has expressed a clear vision for the future of England's cricket. He and captain Ben Stokes are aligned on the direction they wish to take the team.

McCullum has publicly backed Stokes, suggesting that the captain could find his form again, potentially shifting to the No 7 position in the batting order. This change is part of a broader strategy aimed at revitalizing the team's performance.

The recent series has prompted both McCullum and Stokes to reevaluate their approaches, ensuring they are 'crystal clear' about their goals moving forward. This clarity is seen as essential for overcoming the challenges faced during the Ashes.
