Brendon McCullum has been removed as the head coach of England’s Test team with immediate effect. McCullum, however, will continue to steward the Three Lions in both One-Day Internationals and T20Is.
England, meanwhile, haven’t named any replacement yet, and the hunt for a new coach for the Test team has already begun.
“I’ve absolutely loved coaching the Test side and I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved together. There’ve been some unbelievable highs and a few tough days along the way, but that’s all part of taking on a challenge like this,” McCullum said in an official statement to the ECB.
“It’s been a privilege and an honour, and I’m grateful. Grateful to the players, the staff and the fans who supported us on the journey. Of course I’m gutted not to be continuing, but I respect the decision. My focus now is on giving everything I’ve got to the White Ball teams and helping England keep moving forward,” he added.
“I wish the Test team nothing but success. There’s a hell of a lot of talent in that dressing room and they’re a special bunch of lads. I’ll always be backing the boys, with a smile on my face, and hoping they keep taking the game on. I know they’ll continue to make people proud,” McCullum concluded.
