Brendon McCullum, the former New Zealand captain who announced his retirement from international cricket recently, will soon be seen in a new role. As per a report in ESPNcricinfo, he will be appointed as assistant coach of IPL franchise Kolkata Knight Riders and head coach of CPL franchise Trinbago Knight Riders, the sister franchise of KKR.

The report comes after McCullum announced his retirement from all forms of the game a couple of days ago. McCullum has represented both the franchises during his playing days.

KKR had confirmed the exit of head coach Jacques Kallis and assistant coach Simon Katich last month. If appointed, McCullum will succeed Katich in both the franchises – Katich was the head coach of TKR. 

According to the report, KKR though are yet to take a call on their head coach’s post. England’s head coach Trevor Bayliss was expected to make his comeback to KKR but he was roped in by Sunrisers Hyderabad, after the franchise parted ways with Tom Moody.
