Former Black Cap Brendon McCullum will remain England’s head coach across all formats, with Ben Stokes continuing as Test captain and Harry Brook as vice-captain, following an ECB review after a disappointing Ashes defeat and mixed recent results.
England’s 4-1 loss in Australia, T20 World Cup semi-final exit, and criticism of team culture and preparation had raised questions over leadership, but the board reaffirmed its support for McCullum, Rob Key, and the leadership group, citing their commitment to improving and learning from setbacks despite reported internal tensions and ongoing scrutiny.
