England’s Cricket Board appoints Stephen Fleming as the new men’s Test head coach and reappoints Joe Root as England Test captain, multiple outlets report. Fleming, a former New Zealand captain, takes over the Test coaching role from fellow New Zealander Brendon McCullum. Root returns as captain for a second stint and is named on a full-time basis. Several reports also note the broader coaching structure across formats: McCullum continues leading England’s white-ball teams, including one-day internationals and Twenty20 cricket, while Fleming’s role is focused on the Test side. One outlet adds that McCullum’s wider position follows changes after England’s results in recent series, including an Ashes series loss in Australia and a home series against New Zealand. Another report notes Fleming’s career includes prior success in the Indian Premier League, and that he previously had an affiliation with Chennai Super Kings. Across the sources, the central changes are the Test head coach switch to Fleming and Root’s return as Test captain, with McCullum remaining responsible for limited-overs cricket.
