Rome wasn’t built in a day – McCullum confident England will recover
England head coach Brendon McCullum on day one of the Third Rothesay Men's Test at The Kia Oval, London, September 6, 202

BRENDON McCULLUM warned his bid to turn around the fortunes of England’s faltering white-ball sides may take time but he has the utmost confidence his methods will pay off.

England fell flat in McCullum’s first series since aligning the head coach roles, losing 4-1 in T20s to India and finishing on a downer after being thrashed by a record margin of 150 runs in Mumbai.

McCullum, though, has no regrets about wanting to implement a “watchable” brand of cricket, with batters urged to go full throttle despite lingering doubts about how effective they are against spin.
