England coach McCullum said: "I feel incredibly sad for Jos. We've all seen over the last couple of years how much he has invested in captaining his country and trying to get the very best out of those guys around him.

"People forget he won the World Cup a couple of years ago and that can never be taken away from him. He's done a significant job, often without his best players available, so it is incredibly unselfish from Jos to step aside and to leave the post to someone else.

"He is still a huge player for us moving forward and I'm sure we'll look at ways to get the best out of him so he has maximum impact as well."
