Shastri for England Coach? McCullum Under Fire After Ashes Debacle

  • Brendon McCullum faces intense criticism as England trails 0-3 in the Ashes against Australia, questioning his "Bazball" approach.
  • Former England bowler Monty Panesar has proposed Ravi Shastri as the ideal candidate for England's head coach role.
  • Panesar highlights Shastri's proven track record of defeating Australia on their home soil, leading India to two Border-Gavaskar Trophy wins.
  • McCullum, appointed after the 2022 Ashes defeat, revitalized England's Test cricket initially but has seen recent stagnation and losses.
  • Despite external pressure and acknowledging his future isn't solely his decision, McCullum expresses his desire to continue as England's coach until his 2027 contract.

Why It Matters: England's Ashes woes spark calls for Ravi Shastri to replace embattled coach Brendon McCullum.
