Earthquake in England cricket after defeat in Ashes! Will Ravi Shastri take command of the team?

Ravi Shastri: The crushing defeat in the Ashes has given sleepless nights to the England Cricket Board and their coaching staff. After losing the series against Australia, now questions are being raised on ‘Baseball’ and head coach Brendon McCullum in England. Meanwhile, one name is being discussed the most on social media and in the corridors – India’s former legendary coach Ravi Shastri.

Clouds of crisis loom over ‘Baseball’

The pair of Brendon McCullum and captain Ben Stokes had changed the way Test cricket was played, but the defeat in Ashes 2025 has exposed this aggressive strategy. The English media and former cricketers believe that McCullum’s ‘indiscriminate aggression’ failed in front of Australia’s accurate bowling. ‘Sack McCullum’ is trending on social media and fans are now looking for a coach who can instill discipline and the spirit to win in the team.

Why did Ravi Shastri’s name come into discussion?

The reason behind Ravi Shastri’s name coming into discussion is the statement of a former veteran cricketer Monty Panesar. The statement said, “If England wants to regain its lost credibility and defeat Australia at home, then they need a ‘tough’ and ‘fearless’ mentor like Ravi Shastri, who had twice led the Indian team to historic victories in Australia.

Why Shastri can be important

Under Shastri’s coaching, India defeated Australia in 2018-19 and 2020-21. England is currently looking for this formula. He has a deep understanding of international cricket and is adept at handling pressure situations. However, this discussion is currently at the initial stage and no official statement has come from ECB or Ravi Shastri.
