Brendon McCullum will step down as head coach of England's test team ​after four years in the role, the ‌England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said on Sunday.

McCullum, who was appointed alongside former test captain ​Ben Stokes in 2022 and helped ​transform England's red-ball fortunes, will continue as ⁠head coach of the men's white-ball ​teams.

England recently suffered a home test series defeat ​against New Zealand, near the end of which Stokes announced his retirement from international cricket.

McCullum said in ​an ECB statement: "I've absolutely loved coaching ​the test team and I'm incredibly proud of what ‌we've ⁠achieved together."

"There have been some unbelievable highs and a few tough days along the way, but that's all part of taking ​on a ​challenge like ⁠this."

ECB Chief Executive Richard Gould paid tribute to the former ​New Zealand captain's work.

"Brendon breathed new ​life ⁠into England's test side during an exciting period that delivered some memorable victories, and ⁠we're ​grateful for everything he ​has given to the role," Gould said.
