England should resist wholesale change – Vaughan

Former England captain Michael Vaughan believes that even if their anticipated Ashes defeat is confirmed, they shouldn’t alter their starting lineup.

After falling to 213-8 on day three of the third Test, 158 runs behind, Ben Stokes’ side look set to once more lose the series in Australia at the earliest opportunity.

A defeat in Adelaide would set the tone for a fourth straight series defeat for Australia and end the nation’s 18-test winless streak.

Major ashes series defeats abroad frequently signal a significant change in English cricket.

However, Vaughan cited his own success as a member of the England team that finished the 2002-2003 campaign with a 40-0 record before winning the fifth Test in Sydney.

The 51-year-old said that having that experience helped him form a winning team in the infamous return contest in 2005.

Vaughan told the Ashes Debrief on BBC iPlayer, “English cricket frequently works in four-year cycles, home and away Ashes series.”

“Some players need to leave because they aren’t good enough at this level,” according to one or two players, but some have enough talent.

In four years, they will be fine if they are properly coached, managed, and given the right kind of preparation.

Stokes, 34, would seem highly unlikely to make the next tour of England’s squad in 2029-30 while currently playing in Australia. Another question is probably brewing about Batter Joe Root, who will turn almost 39 in four years.

Ben Duckett, the opener, is the next oldest of the 14 players, with Ben Duckett as the next oldest. When the next Ashes tour begins, the left-hander will be 35.

Vaughan, who played 82 Test matches for England between 1999 and 2008, said, “There are a lot of players in this England side that should still be coming in four years’ time.”

“A few of the senior pros might pass away, and one or two will fall by the wayside.”

What I don’t want English cricket to do is to believe that “all these players have failed, we’ll put them in the bin and start again.” You want to make playing in these conditions harder for more players.

In faultless batting conditions, England only fell to 42-3 and 71-4 after defeating Australia for 371 on the second morning of the third Test at the Adelaide Oval.

From 151 balls, Stokes’ defiant 45 ensured England were not bowling again by the end.

A defeat in Adelaide would set up England’s third straight away Ashes series, which had lost by three games.

The series moves on to Melbourne for its fourth Test on Boxing Day before arriving in Sydney in the new year.

” I look back to 2002-03, we were 4-0 down and won in Sydney. After winning that one game, I learned a lot, Vaughan said.
