The ongoing IPL 2022 season hasn’t been a memorable one by any means for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). The two-time IPL champs, and last season’s finalists have struggled a lot this season, and even though they are still in the hunt for a playoff spot, KKR’s chances hang in the balance.
In another blow to the Shah Rukh Khan co-owned franchise, their head coach Brendon McCullum has decided to step down from his role after the end of the season, as he is due to take over as coach of England’s Test team.
As per reports, McCullum, the former New Zealand skipper, has signed a four-year-long contract.

“I’d like to say how pleased I am to be given this opportunity to positively contribute to England’s Test cricket set-up and move the team forward into a more successful era,” said McCullum on his appointment.
McCullum’s appointment comes after Chris Silverwood departed from the role, following the 4-0 drubbing in the Ashes away.
