Brendon McCullum has apologised to England fans for the failure of the Test side to win any of the four series against Australia and India during his four years in charge.
England lost 4–1 away and drew 2–2 at home against both teams, and McCullum said: ‘Fundamentally, we just weren’t quite able to win those two marquee series. We weren’t able to get the results in those, and for that I guess I can only say sorry.’
McCullum also confirmed he had been sacked, rather than choosing to step down. ‘I got a tap on the shoulder, and obviously I am disappointed,’ he said.
‘But at the same time, I fully respect the decision. We’re in a results business, and our results weren’t good enough. It’s time for someone else to have a go.’
