With the bat, they gave us It brings a lot of pressure.” ESPNCricinfo quoted McCallum as saying: “There is a lot of pressure.”
The head coach added that they were exposed in front of the Indian team in the five Test matches.

The former New Zealand batsman admitted that England have to get better in certain areas after being exposed during the Test series against India.
“There are some things you can use luck to patch up some of the cracks. When you’re exposed to the way we’ve been here, you know you’ve got to do better in some areas. We’re going to work on that over the next few months and make sure When we get into the summer we will be in a better position than where we are now,” he added.
