Ex-India opener Sadagopan Ramesh said England head coach and former New Zealand wicketkeeper-batter Brendon McCullum was a "good cricketer" but isn't "fit" as a red-ball coach. "The reason is McCullum tried to fit the T20 style of batting in Test matches to make it to Bazball," he added. Notably, England have lost the first three Ashes 2025-26 Tests against Australia.
