New DelhiEngland have decided to stay with their top personnel despite the 4-1 Ashes humbling to Australia Down Under. The England and Wales Cricket Board started a review just hours after England lost the series. It ended on Monday, March 23.
AdRichard Gould, the head of the ECB, said that firing people would be "the easy thing to do," but he stressed that "this is not the time to throw everything out."
PromotionThis happened after one of the best English teams visiting Australia was soundly defeated there, losing the series in just 11 days with two games remaining.
"Moving people on can sometimes be the easy thing to do. That's not the route that we're going to take," Gould stated.
"I've seen the drive and determination in our leadership group that we are lucky to have. They will learn from the past and move forward."
Gould doesn't like the way football teams hire and fire players.Gould, the CEO, said that the English cricket think tank won't use the same hire-and-fire method as football. "Cricket is a very unique sport because it requires a team of leaders. In football, there's only one point of failure or success with a manager," he said, adding that popularity would not be a factor in decisions. Criticism of the tour centred on inadequate preparation, player conduct, and questionable selection decisions.

Gould implied that McCullum's case was strengthened by the Twenty20 World Cup, where England advanced to the semifinals and some changes had already been made.
Fans' dissatisfaction with the lack of accountability was acknowledged by Key. Key remarked, "I know people want punishment and that people then should be sacked for that." "That doesn't mean we don't feel like we've gone through some serious pain: Brendon, myself, Ben. It's been as tough a time as I think I've had."
