England opted not to send any of the players who featured in the opening Test to join the England Lions in Canberra for a pink-ball match against a Prime Minister\u2019s XI\u2014an omission that reignited scrutiny of the team\u2019s handling of day-night conditions.<\/p>\n<p>The fixture in Canberra mirrors the conditions of next week\u2019s second Test at the Gabba, where a pink Kookaburra ball and floodlights await. Yet only Jacob Bethell, Josh Tongue and Matthew Potts\u2014men who did not feature in Perth\u2014were added to the Lions squad. The decision sparked a public outcry, with Michael Vaughan branding it \u201cnonsense\u201d and BBC commentator Jonathan Agnew calling it \u201ca bizarre situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stewart, however, insisted England must not be swayed by outside voices.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you\u2019re in the inner sanctum, you stick to your guns,\u201d he told BBC Sport. \u201cYou make decisions based on what\u2019s right for the squad\u2014not on what people outside believe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The loss in Perth was England\u2019s first two-day Ashes defeat since 1921, creating an unusually long 11-day gap before the second Test. Many argued that this made the Canberra match the perfect opportunity for additional pink-ball exposure. Stewart disagrees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf they had won in two days, nobody would be telling them to fly to Canberra,\u201d he said. \u201cYou don\u2019t tear up your preparation plan simply because of one bad result.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>England\u2019s coaching group, led by Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes, believe controlled sessions at the Gabba offer more value than a match that might provide limited batting time\u2014especially on a slower, cooler Canberra surface that differs sharply from Brisbane\u2019s trademark bounce and humidity.<\/p>\n<p>Some players used the unexpected downtime to play golf, while others visited a local aquarium, a reminder that mental reset and team chemistry are also part of modern preparation. Stewart, who experienced the reactionary culture of the 1990s\u2014including the infamous \u201cnaughty boy nets\u201d\u2014warned against reverting to outdated methods.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPunishment training doesn\u2019t build confidence,\u201d he said. \u201cStrong teams rely on clarity, not panic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>England face a daunting challenge. They have not won a Test in Brisbane since 1986 and have only two victories from seven pink-ball Tests. Australia, on the other hand, boast 13 wins from 14 day-night fixtures, spearheaded by Mitchell Starc, who took 10 wickets in Perth and remains the most prolific pink-ball bowler in the world.<\/p>\n<p>Still, Stewart urges calm and conviction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is when you find out what people are made of,\u201d he added. \u201cMcCullum and Stokes are excellent leaders\u2014let them execute their plan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>England are winless in their last 16 Tests in Australia, a run stretching back to the 2010\u201311 Ashes triumph. McCullum previously said this series could \u201cdefine\u201d his team. Stewart believes the judgment should be based on process, not panic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs long as they commit to the right preparation, they can hold their heads high\u2014whatever the outcome,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>For more Ashes updates, expert cricket analysis, and the latest sports coverage, follow Betway Arabia\u2019s trusted sports

England captain Alec Stewart has strongly backed the national team\u2019s decision to maintain their original Ashes preparations, despite fierce criticism following the dramatic two-day defeat to Australia in Perth. England opted not to send any of the players who featured in the opening Test to join the England Lions in Canberra for a pink-ball match against a Prime Minister\u2019s XI\u2014an omission that reignited scrutiny of the team\u2019s handling of day-night conditions.<\/p><p>The fixture in Canberra mirrors the conditions of next week\u2019s second Test at the Gabba, where a pink Kookaburra ball and floodlights await. Yet only Jacob Bethell, Josh Tongue and Matthew Potts\u2014men who did not feature in Perth\u2014were added to the Lions squad. The decision sparked a public outcry, with Michael Vaughan branding it \u201cnonsense\u201d and BBC commentator Jonathan Agnew calling it \u201ca bizarre situation.\u201d<\/p><p>Stewart, however, insisted England must not be swayed by outside voices.<\/p><p>\u201cWhen you\u2019re in the inner sanctum, you stick to your guns,\u201d he told BBC Sport. \u201cYou make decisions based on what\u2019s right for the squad\u2014not on what people outside believe.\u201d<\/p><p>The loss in Perth was England\u2019s first two-day Ashes defeat since 1921, creating an unusually long 11-day gap before the second Test. Many argued that this made the Canberra match the perfect opportunity for additional pink-ball exposure. Stewart disagrees.<\/p><p>\u201cIf they had won in two days, nobody would be telling them to fly to Canberra,\u201d he said. \u201cYou don\u2019t tear up your preparation plan simply because of one bad result.\u201d<\/p><p>England\u2019s coaching group, led by Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes, believe controlled sessions at the Gabba offer more value than a match that might provide limited batting time\u2014especially on a slower, cooler Canberra surface that differs sharply from Brisbane\u2019s trademark bounce and humidity.<\/p><p>Some players used the unexpected downtime to play golf, while others visited a local aquarium, a reminder that mental reset and team chemistry are also part of modern preparation. Stewart, who experienced the reactionary culture of the 1990s\u2014including the infamous \u201cnaughty boy nets\u201d\u2014warned against reverting to outdated methods.<\/p><p>\u201cPunishment training doesn\u2019t build confidence,\u201d he said. \u201cStrong teams rely on clarity, not panic.\u201d<\/p><p>England face a daunting challenge. They have not won a Test in Brisbane since 1986 and have only two victories from seven pink-ball Tests. Australia, on the other hand, boast 13 wins from 14 day-night fixtures, spearheaded by Mitchell Starc, who took 10 wickets in Perth and remains the most prolific pink-ball bowler in the world.<\/p><p>Still, Stewart urges calm and conviction.<\/p><p>\u201cThis is when you find out what people are made of,\u201d he added. \u201cMcCullum and Stokes are excellent leaders\u2014let them execute their plan.\u201d<\/p><p>England are winless in their last 16 Tests in Australia, a run stretching back to the 2010\u201311 Ashes triumph. McCullum previously said this series could \u201cdefine\u201d his team.
