Jonny Bairstow has criticised the England cricket regime under the current regime, stating that the team's care was inadequate. He scored four centuries in the first four matches under the regime in 2022 before suffering a serious leg injury and returning for the 2023 Ashes. However, he was dropped the following summer and his last Test match will be against India in 2024. This comes amid a review by the England and Wales Cricket Board following this winter's 4-1 Ashes defeat. Key admitted that England overvalued loyalty throughout the series and stuck with under-performing batters such as Zak Crawley and Ollie Pope rather than looking to others who had performed well in county cricket.
