Darren Gough says Brendon McCullum “very lucky” to keep England job after Ashes disaster

By AFP News May 21, 2026 • 08:36 AM View: 686

Former England fast bowler Darren Gough believes England coach Brendon McCullum was "very lucky" to remain in post after England's Ashes flop as he expressed his "hurt" at being overlooked for the role of national selector.

Gough, who took 467 international wickets, previously worked as Yorkshire's managing director of cricket but lost out to Marcus North in the race to become the new national selector.
