McCullum accepts England Test sacking

Former England Test coach Brendon McCullum has apologized for the "flatlining results" that triggered his removal, saying he accepts the "tap on the shoulder" decision. Despite his sacking from the Test role, McCullum remains head coach for England's white-ball teams as leadership of the men's national teams is split once again. sport-ipl.my

McCullum is now preparing for Tuesday's first ODI against India, a series that remains under his remit. His comments came as he showed no resentment toward the decision to end his tenure as Test coach following a period of poor performance.
