We dragged ourselves away from Grenada, knowing that they would need to grab our necks.

Brendon McCullum, the unexpected appointment as Test coach, is a man who can do exactly that.

The arrival of the ex-New Zealand captain has me so excited. It will bring a jolt of excitement to all of English cricket.

McCullum is often associated with limited-overs success. McCullum was a charismatic presence at the top.

McCullum was the one who inadvertently inspired England to change after they reached rock bottom at 2015 World Cup. They turned things around and lifted the trophy four years later.

The 40-year old is not a white-ball dasher. He played 101 Tests and led the Black Caps on 31 occasions. One of his scores was a triple. He signed off in his final match with a 54-ball win – the fastest Test record.

McCullum keen to improve England’s ‘rock bottom.
McCullum was a highly aggressive batsman, much like Chris Gayle or Virender Sehwag. But he was also one the most innovative and shrewd captains of modern times.

He brought a different mindset to the New Zealand team, which helped them to be crowned the inaugural World Test champions under Kane Williamson, their successor as skipper.

McCullum’s mindset is what England, which is so devoid of confidence and belief, needs right now. He must convince them that they are capable of overcoming any obstacle and will succeed in all circumstances.

McCullum said that he is used to making changes and turning around fortunes when he takes up the post. South Africa beat New Zealand 45 to 1.

McCullum led the Black Caps to the World Cup finals. Their rise to global dominance in all formats was due to their correct approach to cricket.

McCullum is a believer in fairness, respecting others and the spirit of the game. This attitude will help England improve their performance.

McCullum’s inexperience as a coach is a risk. However, his experience as a player more than makes up for the lack of coaching experience. McCullum will be instantly respected by the England team, many of whom will have met with him.

McCullum’s new partnership with Test captain Ben Stokes is a tantalizing prospect. They share a similar outlook on never knowing when they will be beaten, being aggressive and eager to entertain the crowds.

They will be an exciting pair for the England team. Their first match as a leadership tandem will be against New Zealand, McCullum’s country of birth and New Zealand.

McCullum, Stokes, and Rob Key have been appointed in an era of great upheaval in English cricket.

Key, a man who has a great understanding of English football, was an excellent choice. He had no choice but to choose Stokes as his captain. However, McCullum’s decision to become Test coach was bold, brave, and fascinating.

Key, McCullum, and Stokes share the enormous task of making England once again a force in Test cricket.

They have no room to hide with the upcoming fixtures. The summer will be extremely difficult due to the home series against South Africa and New Zealand, as well as the rearranged fifth test against India. Before Australia’s visit next year, the winter will see tough trips to New Zealand and Pakistan.
