I'm not running a 'casual operation' – McCullum

Sunday Sun UK

|

March 08, 2026

BRENDON McCullum is unrepentant about his relaxed outlook but reiterated he does not “run a casual operation” as he looks set to remain as England head coach in all formats.

A desperately disappointing 4-1 loss in the Ashes, in which the urn was lost inside 11 days of cricket, coupled with off-field indiscretions from a couple of England players brought significant focus on McCullum’s position.

A midnight curfew has since been imposed and Carl Hopkinson has returned as fielding coach, but the Press Association understands McCullum retains the confidence of the England and Wales Cricket Board to turn their fortunes around.

McCullum presided over England's run to the semifinals of the T20 World Cup before losing on Thursday to co-hosts India, where a hallmark of their campaign was their resilience in tight circumstances.

While accepting he has made mistakes during his tenure, McCullum insisted his famously laidback demeanour should not be viewed through the prism of England being carefree in their endeavours.
