Reports say former India head coach Rahul Dravid is among the candidates being considered to replace Brendon McCullum as England’s Test team coach. The reports follow McCullum’s reported sacking from the Test setup, with England said to be reshaping its coaching structure across formats. While Dravid is mentioned as a contender for the Test role, other names are also included in the discussions. The Hindu also reports that Andy Flower and former England spinner Richard Dawson are among the candidates for the Test coaching position.
The same reporting indicates that McCullum is not expected to leave England’s limited-overs coaching responsibilities. He is reported to remain in charge of England’s ODI and T20I sides, suggesting the changes are limited to the Test team rather than a complete dismissal from the coaching staff. The reports do not provide details on the timing of any appointment or whether England has finalised a decision, but they describe a shortlist of potential candidates for the Test job after McCullum’s exit from that role.
