England coach McCullum speaks "need to improve" in ODIs

Failing to cross the 250-run mark in each of these three ODIs, England registered one of their worst ODI series outings in a while, going down three-nil to New Zealand. This continues their shambolic run in the format, which started with the horrific ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 title defence, during which they could win only three of their nine matches. Since then, they have lost six out of seven ODI series and won just eight out of 26 matches in the format.
