England are on the hunt for a new white-ball coach, but may already have the perfect candidate in place, says Stephan Shemilt.
England had just won the third Test against West Indies. Matthew Mott was still white-ball coach, though his P45 was in the printer.
England split the head-coaching responsibilities because of a relentless and overlapping schedule deemed too much for one man. Another huge plus is McCullum’s clear messaging. England’s white-ball decision-making has become muddled and there have been questions over Buttler’s tactical acumen. McCullum’s Test side have had success by keeping their plans simple.
He is well paid, he has a lot of freedom and power and, because England’s Test cricket often falls into about three chunks across the year, McCullum’s schedule isn’t dissimilar to the franchise world he left behind. But these issues would not be insurmountable with some careful managing of his schedule and load-sharing among England’s assistant coaches, with whom McCullum already has an excellent working relationship.
