England had appointed Brendon McCullum as their red-ball coach after they wanted a massive bounce back. However, having lost many matches, they bounced back with the duo of McCullum and Stokes working wonders for the three lions.
Ben Stokes has shared an amazing bond with the former NZ batter, whose strategies of Bazball seemed ideal for someone like Stokes, who has always backed a more modernized approach to one of the oldest formats of the game.
"Saying that we weren't aligned, I think, is a massive overstatement. When you are in a position of leadership along with someone else, if anyone thinks that you're always going to agree on everything, then it's just impossible. And to me, that just isn't a healthy relationship," said Ben Stokes.
You need to debate; you need not arguments, but you need discussions- Stokes' views on the Captain-Coach relationship
"It's a healthy environment for sport in particular, where everyone just agrees with everyone, or everyone just says yes to, you know, the person up there. You need to debate; you need not arguments, but you need discussions, and then you end up getting to a place where both want to end up.
Ben Stokes revealed how he sorted things with McCullum
Stokes revealed how he and McCullum were mostly on the same page throughout most of their team meetings or strategic calls, but sometimes when they weren't, they would talk it out in discussions and arrive at one common standpoint.
"But you know, agreeing to everything was just impossible. So you know, saying that we weren't aligned, I think, is a massive overstatement," he added.
