McCullum wants to stay as England coach despite Ashes ...

  • On Sunday, Brendon McCullum said he wants to remain as England head coach despite England being 3-0 down in the five-match Ashes series after 11 days, but he accepts his future is up to other people.
  • After defeats in Perth, Brisbane and Adelaide the tourists' hopes evaporated, and critics heavily criticised England's so-called `Bazball` tactics as largely discredited.
  • Rob Key will address the media in Melbourne on Tuesday and answers to Richard Gould, while Brendon McCullum is contracted through to the end of 2027; Chris Silverwood did not survive a 4-0 thrashing four years ago.
  • The fourth Test starts on December 26 in Melbourne before the New Year Test in Sydney, and losing both games could make it impossible for key decision-makers to keep their roles.
  • Former England cricket chief Andrew Strauss has urged a broader response than sackings, warning that removing coach and captain alone won’t fix the long-term issues after the 2021/22 high-performance review and 18 Test matches winless record in Australia.
