Whatever changes are made, it’ll take years to reap the benefits at county level.

I wish him well, very decent player. Unfortunately test cricket is undervalued and there's a significant rebuilding job to do across the whole test squad.

I never found him to be the most likeable Sky pundit but good luck to him in this role and I will support him all the way if he’s successful.

It will be interesting if he practises what he preaches…

I am hearing a lot about the domestic schedule this summer and particularly the lack of red-ball cricket in high summer being the reason for England’s Test batting order being awfully weak, with the honourable exception of Joe Root.
