Brendon McCullum says England narrated its training in India for injury after Kevin Pietersen and Ravi Shaststra criticized the work ethics of the team.
Former England Batter Pietersen and former India coach Shastra suggested that tourists have not spent enough time on networks While sank to seven defeats of eight on their tour with a white ball and 4-1 was thrown in the T20 series, followed by a 3-0 reconciliation in ODIS.
English captain Jos Buttler insisted that there is no “lazy environment or lack of effort” on the team “ 142 -fulting in the final ODO in Ahmedabad.
McCullum has now said that the mitigation in practice was as a result of a desire to ensure a fully incorporated composition in front of the ICC champion trophy in Pakistan, with the introductory match of England against Australia in Lahore on Saturday 22 February, live on it Sky Sports.
Jofra Archer (cut arm), Brydon Cars (toe finger), Jamie Overton (composite) and Jamie Smith (calf) played the blacks.
McCullum men trained six times in India in the middle of a long journey between a place, but they didn’t do so before the second and third Zada during a tour where they regularly took place against Spin.
The main coach said, “We did a lot of training. We had injuries in the camp, so we supported the boys a little to make sure we had a Fit team.
“We have three training sessions in Pakistan [before the Champions Trophy starts].
“The guys came from a lot of crickets, and the guys are freshly important, especially when you have injuries.
“We hope that in Pakistan we will have a completely fit team to choose and look forward to the fresh challenge. It was a heavy lesson, but we hope it was a great preparation for the tournament.”
Will Duckett be suitable for the champion trophy?
Ben Duckett’s opener touched his groin in the last go -i and struggled to move while hitting the chase, and 32 of 34 runs entered the borders before throwing out a 22.
The left back is now doubtful for the champion trophy, and McCullum added. “[Duckett] He had a lot of crickets during the last time. We will call that call, exercise whether it will be in danger, if it’s inside or out. “
On the rest of his players affected by injuries, McCullum said: “Jamie [Smith] He would be a risk (in the final Odu), but he will be available for the first game (in the champion trophy).
“With Brydon, we hope that his toe has healed by then and has been available for the first game. Overton feels ok, he felt a little tight after the last game, but he should be fine for the first. Jofra should be available. These are good news. “
On the prospects of trophy in England, McCullum added: “You have to make sure you keep that belief in your side and I certainly believe in us.
“I believe we have a team that, if we are able to put together it, is as good or competitive as anyone else, especially in the conditions we will face in Pakistan.
“We hope that maybe a fresh look on different surfaces in a different environment could provide a few more answers for us. But I still believe that our boys are good spin players.”
