Sir Andrew Strauss shares his thoughts on Bazball and the rise of English cricket

Andrew Strauss, England's former Ashes-winning captain who oversaw the ECB's High Performance Review last year, touched an array of issues during his speech at the annual MCC Cowdrey Lecture. Strauss, the 21st speaker at MCC's Spirit of Cricket lecture, feels the triumvirate of Rob Key, Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum have redefined the game of cricket.

Strauss highlighted that bullying masquerading as dressing-room banter will need to be softened as the modern game takes steps to be more inclusive and welcoming in nature.
