Brendon McCullum has been sacked as Test coach in another staggering twist in the unravelling of the England team.

 

Two weeks after Ben Stokes made the stunning announcement to step down as captain and retire from international cricket, McCullum's exit brings a definitive end to the Bazball era.

 

The New Zealander will continue as England's white-ball coach, but leaves the Test team following a string of poor results and several off-field incidents.

 

Director of cricket Rob Key will remain in his position, with the decision to remove McCullum coming after the hierarchy of the England and Wales Cricket Board spent time reflecting on the situation surrounding the men's team.

 

"I've absolutely loved coaching the Test side and I'm incredibly proud of what we've achieved together," said McCullum. "There've been some unbelievable highs and a few tough days along the way, but that's all part of taking on a challenge like this.

 

"Of course I'm gutted not to be continuing, but I respect the decision. My focus now is on giving everything I've got to the white-ball teams and helping England keep moving forward."

NIck knight:  "Was it a mistake giving him both jobs"

Richard Gould: "We may never have a unified coach again"

 

Will that be the way to go?

Split model is fine but will they have a local and an overseas coach or 2 overseas coaches?

Ashes loss + NZ loss...2 right?

Ashes was expected, they have lost there every time in modern era except 2010-11. Home mein toh bas ek hi loss tha, that too 1-2. 

 

We went 0-5 against NZ+RSA.
