Brendon McCullum said that “the project isn’t finished yet” as he pledged to stay on as England head coach despite the shock retirement of Ben Stokes, his captain and right‑hand man over four years in charge of the Test team.
After England lost against New Zealand on Monday in Stokes’s final game as an international cricketer, McCullum said he is fully committed to a contract that runs to the end of next year. “From my point of view, my enthusiasm and commitment to English cricket has never wavered, and that’s certainly the case now. I’m excited about the opportunity of where this cricket team can get to,” he said.
