40-year-old McCullum is presently the mentor of IPL group KKR. He resigned from cricket in 2019 and has never taken care of the obligation of training the Test group. McCullum plays had a major influence behind the developing strength of the New Zealand group in Test cricket. The group brought home the debut World Test Championship last year.
McCullum favors forceful cricket and Rob Key, head of men's cricket at the England and Wales Cricket Board, said: "I trust the organization among Brandon and Ben Stokes as mentor and as commander will be rugged." McCullum's most memorable series with England will be against his nation's group New Zealand in June, with the initial Test beginning on June 2 at Lord's. In the last 17 Tests, England have dominated just a single game, including a frustrating 0-4 loss in the Ashes series in Australia.
McCullum said, "Playing this job, I am mindful of the colossal difficulties confronting the group right now and I accept that I will give my all to assist the group with managing them firmly."
