McCullum fired as England test coach but will continue with T20 and ODI teams
- On Sunday, the England and Wales Cricket Board announced that Brendon McCullum will stand down as England men's Test head coach, though he will continue leading the white-ball teams.
- The decision follows England's 1-2 series loss to New Zealand two weeks ago, which sparked controversy over broken team curfews and led to new behavior recommendations for male cricketers.
- ECB Director Rob Key praised McCullum for 'shaping the mentality of the team,' while McCullum stated he was 'gutted not to be continuing' but respects the board's decision.
- Andy Flower has emerged as the leading candidate to succeed McCullum just five weeks before England's next Test series against Pakistan begins.
- McCullum will maintain his white-ball duties, focusing on preparing England for next year's 50-over World Cup in southern Africa as he continues helping the team move forward.
