Summary
- Rahul Dravid is a candidate for England's Test coach vacancy.
- Brendon McCullum departed the role on Sunday, July 12.
- Dravid reportedly has no interest in a full-time coaching position.
Rahul Dravid, former India Men's head coach, is reportedly a candidate for the vacant England men's Test head coach position. This news follows Brendon McCullum's departure from the role on Sunday, July 12. McCullum's four-year tenure saw England adopt an aggressive playing style, achieving 27 wins in 49 Tests.
Despite recent poor form, including a significant Ashes defeat, England's search for a new coach is underway. Dravid, credited with India's 2024 T20 World Cup win and appearances in other major finals, is considered for his 'meticulous' approach. However, reports indicate Dravid is not keen on a full-time coaching commitment.
Other notable figures considered include former England coach Andy Flower and ex-Australian coach Justin Langer. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is reportedly open to the next coach splitting duties with IPL coaching roles. The shortlist also features Richard Dawson, Kumar Sangakkara, Andrew Flintoff, and Mike Hesson.
