Richard Gould, the CEO of the ECB, has confirmed that a thorough investigation into England’s Ashes failings is underway. Addressing the media, Gould explained that the ‘Bazball’ approach will be scrutinized to see how it can be refined against top-tier opponents like Australia. He believes that the foundation for a 2027 victory must be laid now through better player management and strategic planning. The review aims to identify gaps in the current system and integrate more robust analytical tools to support the coaching staff and the playing squad in the years ahead.
