BRENDON McCullum will oversee England's fortunes in all three formats from the start of next year after agreeing to succeed Matthew Mott as white-ball head coach.

The New Zealander has reinvigorated the Test set-up alongside captain Ben Stokes and will look to bring 'Bazball' to the ailing limited-overs sides as England merge the head coach roles once again.

McCullum has also extended his contract by 18 months to the end of 2027, officially taking over the ODI and T20 sides in January to coincide with a tour of India and the Champions Trophy in Pakistan.

Former England opener Marcus Trescothick will be in caretaker charge of the white-ball sides for the forthcoming visit of Australia and the tour to the West Indies in October and November.
