England’s Ashes woes deepen as McCullum blames overtraining for poor test performances

England last won an Ashes test in Australia over a decade ago, during the 2010-11 series. This time, they arrived with high hopes but suffered back-to-back eight-wicket losses. McCullum admitted the squad over-prepared for the day-night test in Brisbane, leaving players exhausted and underperforming.

England’s task now is to regroup and address their mistakes. The break in Adelaide offers a chance to reset before facing Australia again. A win would mark their first Ashes test victory on Australian soil in 13 years.
