England seeks new Test coach after Brendon McCullum's sacking

England is in the process of selecting a new Test coach following the departure of Brendon McCullum. The team's immediate priorities include appointing a captain after Ben Stokes' unexpected retirement and addressing player behavior both on and off the field. Harry Brook emerges as a leading candidate for captaincy, though questions remain about his readiness for the role. The new coach will also need to build a collaborative relationship with white-ball coach McCullum, ensuring success across all formats. The upcoming winter tour of South Africa and next summer's home Ashes series will be critical for the team's red-ball future.
