Brendon McCullum is close to being appointed as England men's new Test head coach.
Brendon McCullum could be England’s new Test coach by the end of the week, with the former New Zealand captain on the verge of being appointed.
Kolkata Knight Riders have not had the best of seasons in IPL 2022. Despite spending heavily and giving the reins of the team to a new skipper in Shreyas Iyer, the team has failed to impress this season and are currently on 10 points after 12 matches. They still have a mathematical chance of making it to the play-offs if they win their remaining two league matches but will still have to depend on other team's losing all their games.
Chennai Super Kings will look to keep their playoff hopes alive when they face bottom-placed Mumbai Indians in Match 59 of IPL 2022 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. MI, on the other hand, are already out of the tournament after crashing to a defeat against the Kolkata Knight Riders in their last game. A defeat would end CSK's hopes of qualification, while MI will be playing for pride and revenge. CSK had beaten MI earlier this season, thanks to MS Dhoni's last over heroics.
Former New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum is now in contention to become England's new Test head coach, according to British media reports. The Daily Mail said McCullum, a key figure behind New Zealand's rise in both red and white ball cricket, had become a candidate on recently-appointed England director of cricket Rob Key's list of possible coaches. Key is known to want to split the Test and limited overs coaching roles, as well as reintroduce an independent selector, with sacked head coach Chris Silverwood widely regarded as having been over-burdened by carrying out all three jobs.

Pat Cummins on Monday showed his prowess with the ball, taking three wickets in an over as Kolkata Knight Riders romped to a 52-run win over Mumbai Indians in an IPL 2022 clash. Cummins had missed the first three games for KKR this season, arriving for the tournament after completing his international commitments with the Australian team. The fast bowler made instant impact on his very first game of the season, smashing a 15-ball 56 to help KKR beat Mumbai Indians. He had also taken two wickets but had been plundered for 49 runs off his four overs. After playing the next three matches, Cummins was dropped from the team. But he returned on Monday to play a starring role with the ball in hand.
Brendon McCullum is a contender to take over as England Test coach, the BBC and other British media reported. Chris Silverwood left the role in February in the aftermath of their 4-0 Ashes defeat in Australia, with Paul Collingwood named as caretaker.
