(Reuters) - England test coach Brendon McCullum may not be a fan of the word, but "Bazball", the term used to describe the team's swashbuckling approach to test cricket since he took charge in 2022, has been added to the Collins online dictionary.

"I don't have any idea what 'Bazball' is," New Zealander McCullum said last year. "It's not just all crash and burn, if you look at the approach, and that's why I don't really like that silly term that people are throwing out there."
