The Brendon McCullum era for English white-ball cricket is about to begin, so what will the New Zealander have learned from the tour of West Indies?
The Brendon McCullum era for English white-ball cricket is about to begin. The Test coach will also be in charge of the limited-overs team from January, taking on the dual role following the departure of Matthew Mott after England's semi-final exit at this year's T20 World Cup. Marcus Trescothick led the white-ball boys on an interim basis - he hopes to one day become England's permanent head coach - starting with a home assignment against Australia in September.
Buttler has been aggressive with his field placings - the distant influence of McCullum perhaps already on show - and gave up the wicketkeeping gloves in the Caribbean to be closer to his bowlers. It appears to have paid off, with Mahmood crediting the move for some of his nine wickets in the series. 'I've enjoyed working with him again, it's slightly different to when he's got the gloves, to have him at mid-on,' Mahmood said.
