As per reports, the Ashes will have shorter boundaries to maximize the impact of ‘Bazball’. This could be a risky move as even Australia has some good batters to make use of this advantage.
Ever since Brendon McCullum has become the coach, the approach of the England Cricket Team has been excellent in Tests. They have been seen playing destructive Cricket and so far, it has paid off for them. They have won matches against India, New Zealand and Pakistan to show for it. However, it will be a different challenge against the Aussies. The rivalry is the biggest in the game and the pressure of playing this way in the Ashes will also be something that the management has to consider.
Here’s how the fans reacted to this decision of the England Cricket Board to make shorter boundaries for the Ashes:
The men’s Ashes will be contested between June 16 to July 31, with Edgbaston, Lord’s, Headingley, Old Trafford and The Oval set to host the Tests.
