    Ravi Shastri should replace Brendon McCullum as England head coach:
    Monty Panesar

    Under Shastri, India had beaten Australia in Australia twice. Australia
    lost the 2018rCo19 BorderrCoGavaskar Trophy 1rCo2 and were dealt a similar result with the same scoreline in the 2020rCo21 series.


    Following EnglandrCOs humiliating Ashes series loss to Australia in just
    11 days, former England cricketer Monty Panesar has called for a change
    in leadership, suggesting former Indian cricketer Ravi Shastri as a
    potential replacement for current head coach Brendon McCullum.

    McCullumrCOs credibility as a capable head coach and strong leader has somewhat faded amid a string of poor results, both at home and away. The
    3rCo0 scoreline in the ongoing Ashes series Down Under has raised further questions about the New ZealanderrCOs leadership and his much-talked-about rCLBazballrCY approach.

    Would Ravi Shastri be interested, though? It seems unlikely.

    Now the question there is "how much of that is down to the coach
    versus the players?"

    Certainly listening to his commentary I've never felt there was
    anything brilliant about Shastri's insight into the game

    My guess is, 80% players and 20% coach Shastri in those two series India
    won.

    Shastri will probably create a better mindset in England players
    compared to the current CONFUSION created by McCullum.
