Root scraps England curfew, tells players: be adults

The Indian Opinion

English cricket media love a moral panic, first they hammered Stokes and McCullum for a lax culture, and now they cannot resist framing Root’s no-curfew call as either a gamble or a masterstroke. The truth is simpler: one curfew was broken by two players, both were suspended, and a new captain wants to reset norms without military rules. The real test is not an arbitrary midnight deadline but whether England’s batting collapses again under pressure. Watch how Root and Fleming handle a loss, not a night out.
