MCCULLUM KNOWS HE HAS NO SAY ON ENGLAND FUTURE

BRENDON McCullum is eager to stay on as England’s head coach but admits his future is “up to other people” after losing the Ashes in just 11 days.
The New Zealander had branded this winter's tour of Australia as “the biggest series of all our lives” but has seen his hopes of delivering the urn evaporate after humbling defeats in Perth, Brisbane and Adelaide.
McCullum's predecessor, Chris Silverwood, did not survive a 4-0 thrashing four years ago and questions are already being asked about who should carry the can for the latest defeat Down Under.
