Hyderabad: England cricketer Zak Crawley has stated that the English side will stick to their 'Bazball' approach in the upcoming Test series against India, highlighting the need for his team to stay in the present and prepare for the series.
Crawley was part of the English outfit in England's 3-1 series defeat against India in 2020-21, orchestrated by the collapse of the entire batting order. Crawley who was teething in the batting lineup has emerged into a mainstay in the batting unit and will be keen to provide crucial contribution for the team in the top order.
In the 2023 Ashes series, he was the leading run-getter scoring 480 runs from nine innings with an average of 53.33.
Crawley was confident that England would continue their attacking approach in the India series.
"We're not going to change our approach. It has to be judged at the time. We talk about being fully present. If you're not present, you build up all these ideas about what it's going to be like, what the pitches will be, but we could turn up and the first Test is on a belter of a pitch. We could turn up and it's an absolutely raging turner, so you have to adapt your gameplan and play the situation. You can't decide that until you're out there and you're reading the situation," he told BBC Sports.
Reflecting back on his career, Crawley stated that he has been focusing too much on results instead of playing his shots and will look forward to changing it in the series.
