England captain Ben Stokes has given credit for picking the best player and new coach Brendon McCullum for the 3-0 Test series against New Zealand. Before this series, the England team had been losing the series badly, but now the account of victory has been opened. In such a situation, the former captain of the team has said that after defeating New Zealand, there is also a plan for the last Test match against Team India on current captain Ben Stokes.

 

Joe Root said after the match, "It's been really good. Recording a 3-0 win against the best team in the world is phenomenal. It will change the mindset of kids towards Test cricket. Brendon McCullum and Backroom for this Huge credit to the staff. Trent Bridge (second Test) was unbelievable but 55/6 and then what we did and the way we did it was the happiest thing."

 

He added, "The performance of this series showed that the players want to come into the Test team and perform. Matthew Potts bowled brilliantly. Stuart Broad and Jack Leach were excellent in the third Test." At the same time, Stokes said, "When we came together, we picked the players who give the best in every situation. Ollie Pope has been fantastic, taking his form from Surrey and showing the world what Pope is."

 

However, Stokes believed that India will be stronger than New Zealand when the two teams meet for the rescheduled fifth Test of last year's series at Edgbaston on July 1. Stokes said, "India is a different opposition team, but we will come out with the same mindset." At the same time, Root, who was named 'Player of the Series', said that success in Test cricket means enjoying the game. Also said that Stokes has got the game plan which he wants to implement against India at Edgbaston.
