England appoint Stephen Fleming as Test coach for South Africa tour

economictimes.indiatimes.com

Stephen Fleming has been appointed England's new Test coach, succeeding Brendon McCullum, who called him "like me, but better" as England split coaching roles. McCullum was dismissed last month after a poor Ashes and a 2-1 home defeat by New Zealand, but stays in charge of limited-overs teams. Fleming, 53, former New Zealand captain and five-time IPL-winning Chennai Super Kings coach, will begin with the South Africa tour. McCullum said he and Fleming plan close cooperation to manage players across formats, including Joe Root and Harry Brook. Marcus Trescothick will lead England for the Pakistan series starting August 19.
