England's dominant Test series victory over the West Indies has highlighted the team's growth, yet head coach Brendon McCullum emphasised that they are "not the finished article."
The thrilling third day at Edgbaston concluded with England securing a decisive 10-wicket win in the third Test, thanks to Ben Stokes' record-breaking half-century and a captivating five-wicket haul by Mark Wood.
England's series win began with a commanding victory by an innings and 114 runs in the first Test at Lord's, followed by a 241-run triumph in the second Test at Trent Bridge. Despite these convincing results, McCullum noted that the series was competitive and that England still has room for improvement.
In an interview with BBC Test Match Special, McCullum reflected on the team's progress, acknowledging that they are on the right track but still have work to do. He stressed that achieving a series win was significant, especially given the time since their last such success, and that they do not take these victories lightly. Looking ahead, England's next challenge in Test cricket is a three-match series against Sri Lanka, beginning on 21 August at Old Trafford, with several players participating in The Hundred tournament in the interim.
