As we reached the back of the international cricket season on English soil, the ECB’s decision to appoint test coach Brendon McCullum as the new white ball leader could have its issues.
Here’s a look at what problems they could be facing as whilst they’ve had a clear out, they ended the season far from the levels that are expected.

00:00English cricket loves nothing more than a reset.
00:06There was one in 2015 after the World Cup performance, another under Brendan McCullum
00:11and now their latest version, an attempt to resurrect a log-jammed white ball outfit.
00:17The result poses positives and questions for England and McCullum.
00:21Firstly, the captaincy, Harry Brooke, has shown himself a capable alternative for whenever
00:27Joss Butler moves aside.
00:29Another question posed is Joe Root and Ben Stokes.
00:33Root should offer more stability in the batting line-up, while Stokes' return has an obvious
00:37upside.
00:38But the return of both has their risk after their mistakes against India in the World
00:43Cup, which they feel they should have won.
00:45Liam Livingstone, the opening batters and the lack of spin bowlers are further queries
00:50for McCullum to address, but the main objective, and he'll know it, is to get the white ball
00:55side back to the peak of world cricket.
