Darren Gough has expressed his frustration at being overlooked as the new national selector and believes England head coach Brendon McCullum is "very lucky" not to be sacked after the Ashes.
The former fast bowler, who took 463 wickets for his country and previously worked as Yorkshire's managing director of cricket, lost out to Australian Marcus North having reached the final round of interviews.
Gough viewed the position as an important one in challenging the current management regime, which was retained despite the travails of their 4-1 defeat Down Under.
