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.
