Brendon McCullum declares England 'won't stop' after reaching summit of world T20 cricket with India series sweep

Brendon McCullum hailed England for drowning out the noise throughout their dominant T20 series victory over India but insisted that moving to the top of the world rankings was just the start.

England completed a 4-0 series sweep of the reigning world T20 champions with a comprehensive 56-run victory in Southampton, inspired by a record 233-run second-wicket partnership between Jos Buttler (131 off 64 balls) and captain Harry Brook (95 off 45).

The series, in addition to confirming England's status as T20 cricket's premier side, drew a definitive line under a tumultuous summer for English cricket, dominated by Ben Stokes' retirement as Test captain.

For McCullum, his side's ability to excel amid the scrutiny that has engulfed England in recent months made the victory all the sweeter.
