Ravi Shastri Should Replace Brendon McCullum as England Head Coach: Monty Panesar

Panesar urges England to appoint Shastri, citing his success winning two series in Australia and England's 12 wins versus 13 losses under McCullum since 2024.

  • Former England spinner Monty Panesar urged Ravi Shastri, former India head coach, to replace Brendon McCullum after England’s 3-0 Ashes series loss finished in 11 days.
  • Since the start of 2024, England have won 12 Tests but lost 13 under McCullum, raising concerns about his consistency as head coach.
  • Under Shastri, India won two series in Australia with identical 2-1 Border-Gavaskar scorelines, a record Panesar and others credit to his tactical edge against Australia.
  • Brendon McCullum said decisions on his future are `not really up to me`, but he will keep learning and focus on developing the England team for the 2026 English summer.
  • Critics say McCullum's Bazball style has come under intense scrutiny after poor results, fueling leadership debates as the Ashes series concludes and questions arise over who can beat Australia.
