LONDON: England assistant coach Marcus Trescothik feels cricket has become more friendly because of franchise tournaments all around the world, and that the constant nudging between India and the hosts in the ongoing Lord’s Test has provided the much-needed competitive edge to the game.
There has been exchange of words between India and England players in the third Test, but it has not led to bad blood, which is good for the game.
“Having that competitive edge definitely helps the situation. It helps the atmosphere in the series,” Trescothick said after the fourth day’s play on Sunday.
