Brendon McCullum will remain England's head coach across all formats, the ECB confirmed, despite the crushing 4-1 Ashes defeat to Australia. The 44-year-old faced intense scrutiny following the disastrous series, which was further amplified by reports of off-field incidents. McCullum's position was under significant pressure after England's comprehensive loss, but the board has decided to retain him.

He will lead the team into the 2027 home Ashes series, providing continuity despite the recent failures. McCullum expressed his commitment, stating, 'I love the job. It's a great job,' while acknowledging the challenges ahead.

He plans to take time to reflect on the tour's events before moving forward.
