AI Summary

Brendon McCullum has been removed as England's test cricket coach but will remain in charge of the T20 and ODI teams. McCullum expressed disappointment over the decision but is committed to supporting the white-ball squads.

The England and Wales Cricket Board announced Sunday that McCullum "will stand down," with the New Zealander saying in the ECB statement he was “gutted not to be continuing” with the test team — suggesting it was a decision taken by those above him. “But I respect the decision,” McCullum added. “My focus now is on giving everything I’ve got to the white-ball teams and helping England keep moving forward.”
