After England lost the final Test of the three-match Test series at home against New Zealand by a margin of 160 runs, former captain Naseer Hussain was unsparing in his criticism of the side. Hussain said that England had shown a “lack of attention to detail in the last year”. The loss at Trent Bridge was Ben Stokes’ final act as captain and sealed a 1-2 series defeat for the hosts against New Zealand.
England had won the first Test by 115 runs before a nightclub incident led to Stokes being dropped for the second Test, where New Zealand triumphed by 253 runs.
Hussain’s comments came after England coach Brendon McCullum had given an interview to Sky Sports Cricket while he watched on.
