England Test Coach McCullum To Take Charge Of White-Ball Teams Too

The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) today confirmed that Men's Test Head Coach Brendon McCullum will also take on the role of England's White-Ball Head Coach as part of a strategic restructure of the England Men's senior set-up. McCullum, who has been at the helm since May 2022, has extended his contract until the end of 2027. He will assume leadership of both the Test and white-ball teams starting January 2025, coinciding with England's white-ball tour of India and the ICC Champions Trophy.

In the interim, Marcus Trescothick will serve as Interim Head Coach for the upcoming series against Australia and the tour of the Caribbean later this year.

Commenting on the restructure, Rob Key, Managing Director of England Men's Cricket, said:

“I'm delighted that Brendon has chosen to do both roles now with England. I believe we are incredibly fortunate that a coach of his quality is prepared to commit wholeheartedly to English cricket.
