Despite this being McCullum\u2019s first series loss as head coach, he doesn\u2019t sugarcoat the team\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n<p>After an initial win in Hyderabad, England\u2019s strong positions in subsequent Tests were squandered, culminating in a heavy defeat in Dharamsala, where India dominated and secured an innings victory within three days.<\/p>\n<p>Under McCullum\u2019s coaching and with Ben Stokes as captain, England\u2019s record stands at 14 wins out of 23 matches, with eight defeats. Notably, seven of these defeats occurred in the 13 matches played since the beginning of 2023. While losing to India, who have remained unbeaten in series since 2013, is respectable, McCullum admits there are lessons to be learned and areas to refine in the team\u2019s approach. Tough conversations and refinement processes will be on the agenda as England seeks improvement in the aftermath of their defeat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-1 flex justify-start gap-3 empty:hidden\">\n<div class=\"text-gray-400 flex self-end lg:self-center justify-center lg:justify-start mt-0 -ml-1 h-7 visible\"><button class=\"flex items-center gap-1.5 rounded-md p-1 text-xs text-token-text-tertiary hover:text-token-text-primary md:invisible md:group-hover:visible md:group-[.final-completion]:visible\"><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"flex items-center gap-1.5 text-xs\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"flex\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pr-2 lg:pr-0\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"absolute\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full gap-2 items-center justify-center\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"AIPRM__sidebar-icon\" class=\"AIPRM__p-2 AIPRM__top-12 md:AIPRM__top-2 AIPRM__p-2 AIPRM__items-center AIPRM__transition-colors AIPRM__duration-200 AIPRM__cursor-pointer AIPRM__text-sm AIPRM__rounded-md AIPRM__border AIPRM__bg-white dark:AIPRM__bg-gray-900 AIPRM__border-black\/10 dark:AIPRM__border-white\/20 hover:AIPRM__bg-gray-50 dark:hover:AIPRM__bg-gray-850 AIPRM__cursor-pointer AIPRM__fixed AIPRM__right-4 AIPRM__z-30\" title=\"Open AIPRM sidebar\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>India defeated England to claim the Test series by 4-1<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":300,"featured_media":31094,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[741],"class_list":["post-8223","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cricket","tag-brendon-mccullum"],"reading_time":"1 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8223","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/300"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8223"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8223\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31094"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8223"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8223"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8223"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
