England name Brandon McCullum as new white-ball coach
England's cricketing landscape is undergoing a significant transformation as Brandon McCullum has been named their new white-ball coach. The decision follows the resignation of former head coach Matthew Mott. McCullum will remain England’s Test coach, a role he has held since 2022, alongside his new role.
McCullum has been instrumental in shaping England's approach to Test cricket over the past two years. His tenure has been characterized by a bold and attacking strategy, which has rejuvenated the team’s performance in the longest format of the game.
McCullum will take charge of England’s white-ball side from January next year as they are scheduled to tour India. He has also extended his contract with ECB until the end of 2027. As of now, Marcus Trescothick will continue as England’s white-ball coach on an interim basis.
“For the last two years, constant clashes between formats have made it challenging for the white-ball environment; fortunately, these are easing starting from January," Managing Director of England Men’s Cricket, Rob Key said.
“The timing of the schedule (from January) will allow him to dedicate the necessary focus to both roles, and we’re confident this restructure will bring out the best in our players and coaching staff."
“I’m delighted that Brendon has chosen to do both roles now with England. I believe we are incredibly fortunate that a coach of his quality is prepared to commit wholeheartedly to English cricket."
McCullum is excited and ready to embrace the challenge.
"I've thoroughly enjoyed my time with the Test team, and I'm excited to extend my role to include the white-ball sides. This new challenge is something I'm ready to embrace, and I'm eager to work closely with Jos [Buttler] and the team to build on the strong foundations that are already in place,” McCullum said on his appointment.
