England opener Zak Crawley responded to England captain Ben Stokes' comment that the dressing room is "not a place for weak men" with optimism and focus on their game. Stokes had made the statement after England's defeat in the second Ashes Test against Australia, emphasizing the need for strong performances. Crawley, who scored 85 in the third Test in Adelaide, expressed a positive attitude, stating that they don't pay much attention to media comments and are focusing on playing their way to turn things around in the series. The England squad, led by Stokes and head coach Brendon McCullum, aim to maintain a positive and freedom-driven approach to their game.
