# Cricket: Brendon McCullum will step down as England’s Test head coach, bringing an end to a four-year tenure. This follows a string of poor results, including the 4-1 Ashes series defeat to Australia late last year, and several off-field incidents. England have lost eight of their last 12 Tests under the 44-year-old – and won only three – following the recent 2-1 home series loss to New Zealand. McCullum, who will continue to lead the men’s white-ball teams, says he is gutted but immensely proud of what they achieved as a team.
