England are set to confirm Brendon McCullum’s appointment as their new Test coach this afternoon, with Paul Collingwood in line to get the white-ball job in the coming days.
As the ECB scramble to sort work permits and other paperwork, McCullum is set to be in place for the First Test of the summer, against his native New Zealand at Lord’s, on June 2. There is no fixed term to McCullum’s contract, and it is expected that he will arrive in the country towards the end of this month. He will help to select his first squad remotely next week.
