Former India and South Africa head coach Gary Kirsten has reportedly been approached to coach England 's Test team.
New Managing Director of England Men's Cricket Rob Key is set to split the head coach role between red and white ball cricket, having previously advocated for a split while working as a pundit with Sky Sports. Speaking in February, he stated: "I would split the coaching. Not because it's a lot of work but because it's two very different teams at two different times.
"The [white-ball] team could do with a facilitator coach who can just keep delivering what they're doing but challenge them. The Test team needs a completely different style of coach - a driver of culture and environment."
