London, Jan 9 (UNI) Brendon McCullum said there could be “someone better” to be England head coach if he is not “able to steer the ship”.
According to BBC Sport, McCullum and director of cricket Rob Key are set to be given the opportunity to remain in charge despite England’s dismal 4-1 Ashes series defeat in Australia.
England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) chief executive Richard Gould is carrying out a “thorough review” into the Ashes tour and will “implement the necessary changes over the coming months”.
McCullum has held talks with Gould and ECB chairman Richard Thompson. The New Zealander is due to lead England in their white-ball series in Sri Lanka in less than two weeks, and the T20 World Cup that follows.
The 44-year-old said he is “keen” to remain in his job, but it would “depend what changes” are imposed upon him.
“I’ve a firm conviction in a lot of my methods,” said McCullum. “I’m not against evolution and not against progress. “I encourage that across all sports, not just cricket. And all aspects of life as well. So I’m not against that.
“However, you need to stand for something. You need to believe in your methods and you need to believe in how you go about things.”
