Head coach Brendon McCullum and director of cricket Rob Key look likely to retain the support of the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) despite a disappointing winter.
England's agonising defeat by India in the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup on Thursday followed an awful 4-1 Ashes loss in Australia and a white-ball tour of New Zealand where captain Harry Brook was punched by a nightclub bouncer.
Towards the end of the Ashes, it was learned that senior figures at the ECB were keen to resist making sweeping changes in the management of the men's team. According to multiple sources, that feeling has not changed.
ECB chief executive Richard Gould previously announced there would be a review into the Ashes, and that has led to some small alterations to the men's team set-up and the make-up of the board.
