England changed its coach before the Champions Trophy, this veteran will get the responsibility

England cricket team: The England Cricket Board has taken a big decision before the upcoming Champions Trophy. The board has made major changes in its coaching unit. The team's assistant coaches Carl Hopkinson and Richard Dawson will step down from the white-ball coaching setup. Hopkinson has done a great job for England. He played an important role in England winning the ODI World Cup 2019 and T20 World Cup 2022. Now Brendon McCullum will take over coaching for England in all three formats.

England's performance declined in one year

The year 2024 was an ordinary year for England, which won the 2022 T-20 World Cup. England could not win the title in the World Cup 2024 played in West Indies and USA. Apart from this, recently England had to lose the ODI series against West Indies.

On the resignation of Hoppo and Doss, an England Cricket official said that Hoppo and Doss are two excellent coaches who have played a vital role in the success of our white-ball teams. Both of them have done a great job for our senior team. He has helped in establishing a new era. Because of him England is in a better position in cricket. I wish him good future.

Hopkinson has not played a single international match for England. But this player has earned a big name in the world of coaching. He has scored 2705 runs in 64 first-class matches at an average of 27.60. Apart from this, he has scored 1400 runs in 92 List A matches with an average of 22.95.
