England Cricket Makes Big Call on Brendon McCullums Future
Brendon McCullum is having his time close to an end as a Head Coach for England. Amidst this, the ECB has to take a call on whether he will be released or he will be retained by the team. It has been reported that the board is looking to keep McCullum as the Head Coach of the team.
We may have witnessed the end of an era, as the duo of Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes may not be seen anymore. Since Stokes has retired from the game, McCullum also had his time as a Head Coach coming to an end. The England Cricket Board has to take a decision whether he will be continuing or not.
It has been reported that the ECB is eager to have Brendon McCullum as a Head Coach for an extended period. An official confirmation on the same is expected to arrive soon, but McCullum is likely to continue with the team for some more time.
He has been one of the finest coaches for the England cricket team lately. Under his tenure, the English team started a new approach to Bazball, where they showed attacking intent even in the longest format of the game.
Our Take
The English cricket team will be going through some massive changes in the longest format of the game. Ben Stokes, who worked with Brendon McCullum under his coaching tenure, has retired from the game. Without him, it is sure that the England cricket team won't be the same in the longest format. But Brendon McCullum will be eager to find a new skipper who replaces Ben Stokes at his best.
