The move is believed to be linked to the upcoming review of England’s Ashes disaster. They suffered a heavy 4-1 defeat in the Ashes against Australia and faced heavy criticism about team preparation and off-field issues. Questions have also been raised about the future of head coach Brendon McCullum.
Despite the criticism, it is being said that McCullum is likely to continue in his role for now. Senior officials, including Richard Gould and Rob Key are expected to address the media later this month and explain the situation around the team and the Ashes review. Recently, England made it to the T20 World Cup 2026 semifinals, and that would help the coach’s case.
