Stephen Fleming set to become England's next Test head coach
Stephen Fleming poised to replace Brendon McCullum as England Test coach after parting ways with Chennai Super Kings.
Stephen Fleming is expected to be named England's next Test head coach after leaving his role with Chennai Super Kings. The former New Zealand captain came out on top after a long interview process.
Fleming will step into Brendon McCullum's place, who has already shifted to lead England's white-ball sides. The ECB plans to confirm the appointment in the next few weeks.
His time running CSK's dressing room will help, especially with player management. He'll also have a say in picking the next Test captain after Ben Stokes stepped away.
CricHubb Take
The move raises whether England will now rely more on franchise coaches who understand T20 schedules and less on county experience when picking the next captain.
