England opener Zak Crawley on Wednesday (January 31) said most of his teammates have become better players after adopting the ultra-aggressive 'Bazball' approach.

The Three Lions are yet to lose a Test series since embracing this fearless route under the regime of Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum.

On Sunday (January 28), England pulled off an incredible victory from the jaws of defeat in the opening Test against India in Hyderabad.

Despite conceding a substantial first-innings lead of 190 runs, the visitors fought back and won the Test by 28 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.

"I suppose it ('Bazball') comes quite naturally as a lot of our teams are playing more aggressively. The mindset when I first came to England was to backlight or take your time and build a long innings and I didn't think that came naturally to me and a few of the others," Crawley said in a press conference ahead of the second Test in Vizag.

"A lot of us play a bit better under this regime," he added.

The Indian cricket team will be desperately looking for a victory in the second Test, slated to get underway on February 2.

The hosts will be missing the services of Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul in the second Test due to injuries. They are already without star batter Virat Kohli, who has opted out of the first two Tests due to personal reasons.

When asked if the absence of Jadeja and Rahul is a boost for England, Crawley said his team is more focussed on its performance and planning.

"...we haven't spoken about that. It sounds cliched but we stick to our own lead up ... we don't bother about what they are doing," Crawley stated.

"Two very good players missing out but I'm sure looking at their depth they have two very good players coming in. So, that won't change anything for us too much. We're just trying to play the same, read the conditions on day one and see what happens for there," he further remarked.

After the loss in Hyderabad, there is a lot of talk surrounding the possible nature of wickets that the hosts will prepare for the second Test. However, Crawley made it clear that the tourists are not thinking about the pitches.

"They're absolutely a top side in their own conditions. There are four games left, we have got to stick to what we do well and hopefully results come from there," he said.

Ahead of the India tour, England underwent an extended training camp in Abu Dhabi and Crawley said it benefitted them immensely.

"It was exactly how we wanted...The wickets in Abu Dhabi turned a lot because we wanted them and we made them turn," he said.

Talking of preparation, Crawley said using sweep shots against spinners, something that Ollie Pope did en route to his incredible knock of 196 in Hyderabad, is a well thought out tactic.

"I think sweeping and reverse sweeping when it's spinning is a good option. It takes the spin out of plan. I think the reverse sweep is more common for us, because there's just less field in there," Crawley said.

"They always seem to have two men out on the leg side. If they had two men out on the other side, we'd probably play the sweep...the reverse sweep comes probably just as naturally to us as the normal sweep," he added.
