Full list of confirmed Tests, one-day internationals and T20 internationals for England men in 2025, a year which ends with an Ashes series in Australia.
Brendon McCullum begins his tenure as England’s all-format head coach on Wednesday as his side go up against India in the first of five T20s in Kolkata.
England have won 22 of 35 Tests having under the McCullum-Ben Stoke regime, having triumphed just once in their previous 17. McCullum has been brought on board for England’s white-ball sides after they relinquished both World Cup crowns in the last 18 months.
Simon Doull, Nasser Hussain and Michael Atherton examine what lies ahead for Brendon McCullum as England’s Test and white-ball coach.
The early signs are the former New Zealand captain will bring the same style to the T20 and ODI teams as he is “desperate for us to play a really watchable brand of cricket”, with England captain Jos Buttler relishing the chance to work with McCullum.
“I was a Brendon McCullum fan as a player, and would have always loved to play with him,” Buttler said. “I have a lot of admiration for what he did with New Zealand.
“He’s really great mates with [former England captain] Eoin Morgan, who is one of my good friends, so I got to know him through him and through various franchise tournaments we were both in at the same time.
Captain Jos Buttler says he’s looking forward to building relationships in the white ball side as England announce their team for the opening T20 against India.
“It’s a strong relationship and I’m really excited to develop a professional coach and captain relationship. I’ve been really energised by it and I’m looking forward to this moment ever since it was mentioned that Baz could become the white-ball coach as well.”
