Does Brendon McCullum want to continue as England coach? New Zealand tactician reacts

T20 World Cup: England coach Brendon McCullum reiterated that he would like to continue in his role despite their exit from the T20 World Cup 2026. McCullum's position has been under the scanner ever since England's horrendous Ashes series in Australia.

England coach Brendon McCullum said that he would like to carry on as England coach despite his side's exit from the T20 World Cup 2026. England were beaten by India in the semi-final in a thrilling encounter that saw them lose the game by just seven runs. Jacob Bethell almost carried them home with his hundred, but in the end, the hosts were able to hold on and get the win.

The tournament ended a tough winter period for England, that saw them get thrashed by Australia in the Ashes 4-1. The series also saw England's dressing room culture get questioned, and a thorough review get launched by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), where the positions of Rob Key and McCullum were put under the scanner.

Speaking to Sky Sports, McCullum reiterated that he loves the England job and there is still a lot to achieve with the team. The former New Zealand captain, however, admitted that he will reflect on the past few months and see what is working and not for him and the team.

"Look, I love the job," McCullum said. "I think it's a great job. It doesn't come without its challenges, of course, but that's the nature of it. I feel like we've achieved some really cool things over the last few years, but there's still so much to achieve with the side across all formats."

"And I would love to carry on," he added. "We'll see what unfolds over the next little while. For now, after being on the road for a fair bit of time, it's a matter of getting home and hopefully watching some fast horses and playing some shocking golf, and it's taking a bit of time to reflect.
