England To Stick With Ben Stokes And Brendon Mccullum Despite Ashes Flop

By AFP News January 09, 2026 • 09:11 AM View: 214

England will limp home from Australia after a humbling 4-1 Ashes defeat but appear likely to stick with the regime of Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum, who have vowed to learn lessons from a painful tour.

The tourists arrived in November with genuine hopes of a first Ashes series win in Australia since 2010/11 but were 3-0 down inside 11 days of action, with only pride left to play for.
