Former Indian World Cup Winning Coach Shows Interest In Coaching England Test Side
Former South Africa opener Gary Kirsten has expressed interest in coaching England's Test side, saying it would be 'a really lovely project' to be a part of. Kirsten's comments come after speculations rose over current England coach Chris Silverwood's future after the Test side lost the Ashes in just 12 playing days. Moreover, England lost nine Tests in 2021 under Silverwood.
Kirsten had applied for the post of England coach in 2015 and 2019, but was beaten by Trevor Bayliss and Silverwood respectively. "Working with a Test side, or working with an ODI side is great. Listen, the England ODI side is set-up, you're the best ODI side in the world at the moment. It's a project that has been well-thought out. You've got consistency in the players that have been picked. Your Test side has battled for a while but it would be a really lovely project to get that going," Kirsten was quoted as saying by inews.co.uk.
