Former New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming is expected to be appointed as England’s new Test coach, according to reports from UK outlets. Both articles say Fleming has been in the frame for the role following an interview process in which he has reportedly moved to the forefront of consideration.
Fleming has been out of work since leaving Chennai Super Kings earlier this month, with one source noting this as the latest update on his availability. The reports do not provide further detail on the timing of the appointment or the length of the contract. They also do not outline specific changes to England’s coaching structure beyond the Test coaching role.
Overall, the coverage agrees that Fleming is the leading candidate and that the decision follows interviews. It also aligns that his most recent employment ended with his departure from Chennai Super Kings earlier in the same month.
