Bazball no more: England sack McCullum as Test coach days after Stokes retirement

England has parted ways with Brendon McCullum as their Test coach, marking the end of the aggressive Bazball era just days after Ben Stokes' retirement. Despite earlier support from the ECB and a positive review of their Ashes performance, the decision signals a shift in strategy. This move could reshape England's approach to Test cricket, moving away from the high-risk, attacking style that defined the Bazball era. The implications extend beyond the team's playing style, potentially influencing future leadership and coaching philosophies in the sport.
