Brendon McCullum 'would love to carry on' as England head coach as tough winter ends with T20 World Cup semi-final exit

Brendon McCullum said he "would love to carry on" as England head coach but added that a "hard conversation" was needed following a difficult winter away with the Test team.

McCullum praised England's toughness and the "mental fortitude" of white-ball captain Harry Brook despite their T20 World Cup semi-final exit to India on Thursday, as they were edged out by just seven runs when chasing a massive 254 to win.

But looking back on the winter as a whole - which included a 4-1 drubbing by Australia in The Ashes - McCullum suggested that discussions needed to be had over the team's playing style going forward.
