The Collins dictionary entry for the word 'bazball' states: "a Test cricket style characterized by an assertive and aggressive batting approach." This term is slated to be featured in the upcoming print edition of the Collins dictionary next year, although it is already present in the online version. Since its inception, "bazball" has come to symbolize a daring and risk-taking approach. The word was coined after former New Zealand captain Brendon 'Baz' McCullum was appointed the coach of England's Test team in 2022.
