Stokes Denies Rift With McCullum, But Says He Work With Him In 'different Way'

By IANS News April 14, 2026 • 16:20 PM View: 95

Wales Cricket Board: England captain Ben Stokes has quashed the talks of a rift with head coach Brendon McCullum, calling it a "massive overstatement", but indicated that he may work with the head coach in a "slightly different way".

England's 4-1 defeat in the Ashes in Australia was described as a systemic failure, with poor preparation and the collapse of the aggressive ‘Bazball’ approach leaving the side exposed.

After an ECB review, the duo have been cleared to hold onto their roles and will continue as a captain-coach pair heading into the next cycle, with a home Ashes slated for 2027.
