Stokes Praises McCullum's Dual Head Coach Role, Sees Boost For England's White-ball Team
Red Bull Gaming Sphere: Ben Stokes has lauded the decision to appoint Brendon McCullum as the new head coach of England’s limited-overs teams, calling it "an unbelievable move" for the future of the sport in the country. McCullum, who has already revolutionised England’s Test cricket with his leadership style, will now take charge of all formats, starting in 2025 under a new three-year deal that will extend his tenure until 2027.
Since taking the reins of the Test side in May 2022, McCullum, alongside Stokes, has overseen a dramatic transformation, with England winning 19 of their 28 Tests, including six series victories out of nine. This remarkable turnaround has instilled a sense of freedom and confidence within the team, often referred to as "Bazball", a term synonymous with England’s new, aggressive approach to Test cricket.
Speaking at the Red Bull Gaming Sphere in London, the Test captain couldn’t hide his excitement about McCullum’s expanded role.
