Brendon McCullum, the New Zealand cricket legend and former England Test coach, has joined Channel Seven and Triple M's commentary teams for the forthcoming four-Test series between Australia and the Black Caps, which begins in Perth on December 9.

McCullum's tenure as England's Test coach ended after their 2-1 series defeat to the Black Caps in July. He remains in charge of England's white-ball teams, which will visit Australia in November for three One-Day Internationals and five Twenty20 Internationals.

McCullum previously worked with Seven during New Zealand's 2019-20 tour of Australia. He said he was 'absolutely thrilled' to be returning for the series. 'Australia versus New Zealand always has a bit of an edge to it,' he said. 'I've lived this rivalry as a player, so I'm looking forward to sitting on the other side of the fence, having a bit of fun with the Seven team and hopefully giving viewers some insight into what's unfolding in the middle.'
