McCullum and Stokes 'crystal clear' where they want to take England

Head coach Brendon McCullum says England's Ashes thrashing has left himself and Ben Stokes "crystal clear" how they want to work together as he backed the captain to rediscover his best form.

There appeared a divergence of views and messaging between McCullum and Stokes during the 4-1 drubbing in Australia over the winter, with the coach's aggression at odds with the skipper's more conservative approach.
