McCullum's Test Job on the Line: ECB Demands Major Changes After Ashes Debacle
- •The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has reportedly issued an 'ultimatum' to men's head coach Brendon McCullum.
- •McCullum's Test coaching role is at risk if he doesn't accept 'major changes to the team's environment and culture'.
- •Pressure is mounting on McCullum, captain Ben Stokes, and director Rob Key after England's poor Ashes performance.
- •England lost the Ashes urn in a record 11 days, despite a win in Melbourne, and faces a potential 4-1 series loss.
- •Ben Stokes' post-series review opinion is crucial, though he publicly supports McCullum; McCullum's white-ball role seems safe for now.
Why It Matters: Brendon McCullum faces an ECB ultimatum to overhaul team culture or risk losing his Test coaching job.
