Unbelievable Move For English Cricket: Stokes On McCullum's White Ball Appointment

New Delhi: England Test captain Ben Stokes has lauded the decision to appoint Brendon McCullum as the new head coach of limited-overs teams, calling it "an unbelievable move" for the future of the sport in the country.

McCullum, who has already revolutionised England’s Test cricket with his leadership style, will now take charge of all formats, starting in 2025 under a new three-year deal that will extend his tenure until 2027.

Since taking the reins of the Test side in May 2022, McCullum, alongside Stokes, has overseen a dramatic transformation, with England winning 19 of their 28 Tests, including six series victories out of nine. He has been credited with improving the performance of England's Test team through his aggressive and emboldened approach, often known as 'Bazball'.
