Brendon McCullum has vowed to put a smile back on Jos Buttler’s face when the pair team up to lead England’s white-ball side, admitting his captain looked “miserable” during two failed World Cup defences.
McCullum will combine his red-ball role with the limited overs job from January after signing a new contract through to 2027 and revealed he expects Ben Stokes to stay on as Test captain throughout that spell.
