Illustration: SideLine

Brendon McCullum has expressed regret to England's cricket followers for the outcomes during his tenure as Test coach, acknowledging it's time for a change. He confirmed his dismissal from the Test role, which he held from 2022, and will continue with the limited-overs teams.

Brendon McCullum has publicly apologized to England's cricket fans for the team's performance under his leadership as Test coach. The New Zealander confirmed that he has been removed from the red-ball coaching position, a role he took on in 2022. He suggested that the time is right for a new individual to lead the Test side.

McCullum clarified that his exit from the Test coaching job was a sacking by the England and Wales Cricket Board, rather than a voluntary resignation. He will, however, continue his involvement with the England setup, remaining in charge of the team's white-ball formats.

💬 SideLine Take

McCullum's honest admission of responsibility is a classy move, but the ECB's handling of the situation, claiming he 'stood down' when he was clearly sacked, adds a layer of awkwardness to the transition.
