England head coach Brendon McCullum has expressed his desire to continue coaching the England team despite their exit from the T20 World Cup, insisting that the difficulties faced over the past few months will only strengthen the squad. Speaking after England’s thrilling semi-final defeat to India at Mumbai’s iconic Wankhede Stadium, McCullum said he would love to continue as England’s head coach. However, McCullum admitted there had been mistakes made over the last six months. Recently, under McCullum, England also suffered a crushing 4-1 Ashes defeat.

"Yeah, it's been busy, hasn't it?. There's been a bit going on across different formats, but I think the white-ball side has been exceptional in the post-Ashes period. We've played some good cricket, and it's got a real identity about it as well under Brookie's captaincy," McCullum told Sky Sports.

"Obviously the Test winter was disappointing. We went to Australia with high hopes and we weren't able to deliver, and that's something that you've got to look and say, 'what are the things that you need to improve?', he said.

"Did we play the style of play that we took down to Australia or did we not? If we've been honest with ourselves, I'd probably say we didn't. And that's something that we need to have a good hard conversation around. What is the direction, or style, that we're wanting to be consistent with?" McCullum said.

Brendon McCullum is under contract with England Cricket until the end of 2027, covering the next ODI World Cup and the home Ashes that summer.

"Look, I love the job," McCullum said. "I think it's a great job. It doesn't come without its challenges, of course, but that's the nature of it. I feel like we've achieved some really cool things over the last few years, but there's still so much to achieve with the side across all formats."

"And I would love to carry on. We'll see what unfolds over the next little while. For now, after being on the road for a fair bit of time, it's a matter of getting home and hopefully watching some fast horses and playing some shocking golf, and it's taking a bit of time to reflect," he said.

"As you always do, when you're a player, when you're a captain and as you are as a coach, you let things land, you try and then objectively look at what is working, what isn't working, and what things you need to ensure you try and rectify," McCullum said.
