Australian cricket coach and former international batsman
England’s search for a new red-ball coach is nearing a resolution as Stephen Fleming emerges as the frontrunner, with interviews underway following Brendon McCullum’s departure. A decisive appointment could shape the team’s direction ahead of next year’s fixtures.
The England men's cricket set-up is reviewing the feasibility of a dual-head-coach model, with Brendon McCullum continuing to run the white-ball sides while a new red-ball coach may oversee the Test team. Simon Langer has expressed interest but has not engaged; talks are at an exploratory stage. A decision will shape England's preparation for the 2027 Ashes.
