The appointment of Brendon McCullum as the Head Coach of England's Test side has been hailed by Kevin Pietersen and Piers Morgan but met with a mixed reaction from many other fans, who fear his expertise in white ball cricket could see the move backfire.
McCullum, 40, will be in place to start his role for next month's three-match Test series against his native New Zealand, which gets underway at Lord's from June 2, subject to obtaining the necessary work visa.
He currently works as Head Coach of Indian Premier League franchise Kolkata Knight Riders and previously coached Trinbago Knight Riders to the 2020 Caribbean Premier League title.
