Gary Kirsten is reportedly the frontrunner to become England 's new head coach in Test cricket, having been approached by Managing Director of Men's Cricket Rob Key.
England have officially begun the recruitment process to find Chris Silverwood's successor, with the ECB advertising online for separate red and white ball head coaches. And Kirsten has been sounded out by Key over the red ball job.
According to a report from the Daily Mail, Kirsten has informed Key that he is 'available and interested' in the role, with discussions reaching 'a new level on Monday'. The report states he is in 'pole position' to get the job, although his current role as batting coach of IPL franchise Gujarat Titans could complicate things.
