The ECB has appointed Joe Root as men's Test captain for a second stint, with former New Zealand skipper Stephen Fleming joining as head coach.

The ECB has parted ways with Brendon McCullum as England Test coach, though he will remain in charge of the white-ball teams as the board plans for the future.

The England and Wales Cricket Board has initiated a restructuring of its international operations, moving Brendon McCullum to focus solely on white-ball cricket. The changes also include dropping senior players Jonny Bairstow and Moeen Ali from the squad for the upcoming series against Australia.
