Ollie Pope Says Watchful Pursuit Proves England Are Not 'One-Dimensional'

By Saurabh Sharma August 25, 2024 • 09:05 AM View: 360

England stand-in captain Ollie Pope said the team's cautious but successful run-chase during a five-wicket win over Sri Lanka in the first Test at Old Trafford on Saturday proved they were not a "one-dimensional" team.

Since Brendon McCullum was appointed as England's red-ball coach in May 2022 they have become known for their aggressive 'Bazball' approach.
