Much of the talk in the build-up to the 2025 summer has been about England's men and the things they say.

You don't need me to list some of the silly answers Ben Duckett, Harry Brook and co have given in recent times.

In a bit of a change of message, coach Brendon McCullum has called on he players to improve their "humility" as they begin a year that will define his spell in charge.

"It's not just about what you do on the cricket field. It's how you carry yourself. It's how you interact with the public. It's the messaging that you give," McCullum said.

"The ability these guys have to be able to play on the biggest stage, under the brightest lights and the pressure that takes is one thing, but also the ability to be humble and show some humility and not feel out of touch with the general population is something I'd like to see us improve on."
