Former England captain Michael Vaughan you launched a scathing attack on England’s leadership, calling out the head coach Brendon McCullum and chief cricket officer Rob Key later resigned Ben Stokes drew the curtain on his international career.Stokes, 35, announced his retirement from international cricket and stepped down as England captain following the team’s 160-run defeat of New Zealand in the third Test at Trent Bridge on Sunday. The result sealed a 2-1 series defeat and extended England’s disappointing run in the longest format.England have now managed just two wins from their last 10 Test matches, a streak that includes defeats in Australia and New Zealand, along with a series draw at home against India.Reacting to the team’s recent performances, Vaughan said he had reached a point where he could no longer accept England’s standards.“When I saw that on Wednesday night last week, I went ‘nah, we can’t accept that’ as ex-players in the game,” Vaughan said on the Stick to Cricket podcast.“And it was that period that I looked at and I went ‘nah, enough is enough’. English cricket has got to be better than that.”Vaughan believes the time has come for radical changes at the top, questioning whether McCullum is the right man to lead England forward despite his popularity.“I think Baz McCullum is a great guy but he’s not a great coach and for England, as ex-players and fans of English cricket, we should be aiming to be the number one team in the world and at the moment we’re ranked seventh.“We’ve won two games in 10 games, and those two wins came at Lord’s in a ditch and the MCG which was a two-dayer, so the only two games we’ve won have been on farmers’ pitches.“It can’t be right.”The former captain said England supporters deserve much better and insisted the team’s current trajectory was unacceptable.“I want to change. I’ve seen enough. I’m passionate about English cricket and I hate to see this and you can’t say the 20-odd thousand don’t think the same,” Vaughan said.“When you have the opposition in your own backyard that laughs at you, that’s enough. We need to move on.”Vaughan also questioned the future of Rob Key, who has overseen England cricket operations since his replacement. Ashley Giles as managing director in 2022. Key appointed McCullum as Test coach later that year before expanding his responsibility across all three international formats in September 2024.According to Vaughan, England’s struggles have not been limited to Test cricket, with the team’s white-ball performances also declining under the current structure.“I’m so frustrated watching it, it’s laughable,” Vaughan said. “You have to say that Rob Key’s job is on the line. It should be on the line. I wouldn’t be surprised if Rob Key goes.“They haven’t been well coached. You tell me if Andy Flower was in charge … this team would be getting the results they are? Not a chance.”With Stokes’ retirement ending one of England’s most influential eras, Vaughan believes the team must now use the moment to reset their leadership and direction after a prolonged period of disappointing results.
