It was earlier reported that McCullum had agreed to the job in principle after talks with England and Wales Cricket Board라이브 바카라 (ECB) new managing director Rob Key over the last few days. A formal announcement will be made soon.

It is believed ECB had interviewed several candidates for both England라이브 바카라 white and red-ball head coaching positions recently after Key라이브 바카라 decisions to split the roles. Former South Africa and India라이브 바카라 2011 World Cup-winning head coach Gary Kirsten is also one of the contenders.

Following his retirement from the game in 2019, McCullum라이브 바카라 coaching experience has exclusively been in white-ball cricket. But he was a key member of the leadership group that helped New Zealand라이브 바카라 revival as a Test side from 2012 to 2016 with coach Mike Hesson.

In his short coaching career, McCullum won the Caribbean Premier League title with Trinbago Knight Riders in 2022 and also led KKR to the final of IPL last year in Dubai. Key also informed that he sought opinions on the Test side from Eoin Morgan, who is good friend of McCullum and was also KKR captain last year.

“I've spoken to Eoin about red-ball cricket as well,” Key said. “I asked his opinion. You want good people with good brains around you to work stuff out, so Eoin Morgan is someone I would speak to about so many different things.”

With Ben Stokes replacing Joe Root as the new England captain, it would be interesting to see how the Stokes-McCullum combination works for England. Under Root, England were thrashed by Australia in the Ashes that concluded earlier this year. 바카라 웹사이트바카라 웹사이트바카라 웹사이트
