Brendon McCullum has been named as England men’s Test Head Coach by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB).

In the next month’s LV= Insurance three-match Test series against New Zealand, which gets under way at Lord’s from 2 June, we will see McCullum, 40 leading the team. 

ECB’s selection panel was greatly impressed with his candidacy.  The selection committee comprising of chief executive officer Tom Harrison; managing director of England’s men’s cricket Rob Key; strategic adviser Andrew Strauss and performance director Mo Bobat unanimously agreed that he was the right man for the job.

New Zealand-born McCullum currently works as head coach of Indian Premier League franchise Kolkata Knight Riders and previously coached Trinbago Knight Riders to the 2020 Caribbean Premier League title.

“It has been a real privilege to get to know him and understand his views and vision for the game. I believe his appointment will be good for England’s Test team.” – Rob Key
