LONDON: England Test coach Brendon McCullum will also take control of the white-ball teams, the England and Wales Cricket Board announced on Tuesday.

The ECB said the New Zealander would be in charge of both the Test and limited-overs teams from January 2025, coinciding with England´s limited-overs tour of India and the ICC Champions Trophy.

“I´m delighted that Brendon has chosen to do both roles now with England,” said Rob Key, managing director of England men´s cricket. “I believe we are incredibly fortunate that a coach of his quality is prepared to commit wholeheartedly to English cricket.”
