McCullum is due to lead England to the T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka next month, and a decision on his future is unlikely to be taken until after that tournament.<\/p>\n
And all-rounder Stokes said he would “hope” to be consulted on any potential changes to the England hierarchy.<\/p>\n
“It is a situation nobody knows whether it is going to happen or not but we’re both pretty keen on carrying on doing what we are doing,” said Stokes.<\/p>\n
England won 10 of their first 11 Tests under Stokes and McCullum, but their results have been mixed since that opening burst of success.<\/p>\n
In their past 34 Tests, England have won 16 and lost 16, with two draws. They have not managed a victory in a marquee five-Test series against Australia or India.<\/p>\n
At the beginning of 2025, McCullum also assumed control of England’s white-ball teams. Since then, England have won only four of their 10 Tests, including an expected comfortable victory Zimbabwe at Trent Bridge in May.<\/p>\n
In explaining the reasons for England’s poor performance in the Ashes, Key pointed to the white-ball series in New Zealand prior to this tour as a hindrance to preparation in Australia. The former England and Kent batter said he was not willing to “write off” the matches against the Black Caps.<\/p>\n
But Stokes does not believe McCullum’s dual role is having a detrimental effect on the Test team.<\/p>\n
“He has got two jobs to do now,” said Stokes. “It has not influenced the relationship we have with this Test team whatsoever.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
