Under his captaincy, the England team has achieved great success in the last few months with coach Brendon McCullum.
Speaking to Cricbuzz, head coach of England limited overs team Matthew Mott said, “He is a three-dimensional player and he has a lot to offer to the team. I think we’ve got a lot of guys who can do extraordinary things, but it’s the player you knew if he was at the crease, you’re going to win matches.”

It was his decision to retire from ODI cricket. He didn’t think he could give his all, as he is a special commodity to English cricket.”
