Stuart Broad explains why other teams will emulate England's 'Bazball' success

Stuart Broad believes other countries will try and emulate the new positive and aggressive approach to Test cricket that has brought England great success under Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum.

The approach, dubbed 'Bazball' after McCullum's nickname, has seen England win nine out of ten Tests since Stokes and McCullum took charge, with victories over the likes of New Zealand, India, South Africa and Pakistan. Those performances have helped captivate fans again after a previously disappointing run of form.

And Broad believes other sides will have watched England's success and look to follow suit, with white-ball cricket meaning most players "have so much expansion in their games now".
