Brendon McCullum is 'very confident' that Jos Buttler remains the man to lead England in white-ball cricket and hopes to make the captain less 'miserable' as he steps up to coach the side. McCullum will take charge of all formats from early next year, adding the limited-overs role to the Test job he has held since 2022, with the New Zealander extending his contract until 2027.
McCullum is also hopeful Stokes will play limited-overs cricket for his country again despite the 33-year-old - who is currently out of action with a hamstring injury - prioritising Test cricket of late as he recovers from surgery on a chronic left knee issue. But he stressed that England will have to look after their multi-format players and that rotation will still be required despite the congested nature of the international calendar starting to ease.
