Stephen Fleming targets England as number one Test team

Stephen Fleming says he wants to take England to the top of the Test rankings. The former New Zealand captain replaced Brendon McCullum in the role and has added the World Test Championship to his list of goals.

Fleming believes the team's identity and sense of belonging matter as much as results. He credits McCullum and Ben Stokes with shifting how Test cricket is played, but he also wants better decision-making when matches turn on small margins.

He met Stokes on a county tour and found the captain comfortable with his decision to step away from Tests. Fleming's first job is the tour of India later this year.
