Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum have revolutionised England's red-ball team. They have introduced a fearless brand of cricket and all the English Test players have subscribed to the idea.
Brendon McCullum will take charge in his dual coaching role in January 2025 ahead of England's white-ball tour of India. McCullum has been at the helm of the Test side since May 2022, partnering with skipper Ben Stokes to bring about a batting approach change in the team.
England are playing in their seventh Test series since the appointment of Ben Stokes as captain and Brendon McCullum as the head coach of the red-ball team. The Three Lions have won four series during their tenure.
"No doubt Bumrah is very good, but we have come up against very good bowlers all through the last 18 months or so and found ways to counter them and that is what we have got to do in this one," Brendon McCullum said.
"Bashir comes into calculations for the next Test match. If the wickets continue to spin as much as what we saw in the first Test as the series goes on, look, we won't be afraid to play all spinners or a balance of what we've got," McCullum said.
