IND vs ENG: McCullum joins Stokes , blames Edgbaston surface; wants ‘spicy’ pitch at Lord’s

Following a heavy defeat in the second Test, England coach Brendon McCullum has requested a faster, bouncier pitch for the upcoming Lord’s Test. This comes after both McCullum and captain Ben Stokes acknowledged misreading the Edgbaston pitch, describing it as a “subcontinent-type” surface that favored India’s bowlers.
