The England cricket team has made a name for themselves with their unique brand of cricket called “Bazball”.

While some experts remain apprehensive about the approach, England assistant coach Paul Collingwood believes that ‘Bazball' will be key to his team's chances in the upcoming Ashes Test series and even said that it is an important way to make Test cricket more interesting and more attractive to the fans.
