Stephen Fleming The Best Person To Take England Test Cricket Forward, Says Rob Key
Sky Sports News: Rob Key, the Managing Director of England men’s cricket team, said Stephen Fleming is the best person right now to take the Test team forward, adding that the former New Zealand skipper’s vast experience and tactical acumen make him the ideal candidate to guide a transitioning side.
Fleming will take charge from England’s tour of South Africa, with Marcus Trescothick to be the interim head coach for the Tests against Pakistan, starting on August 19. “Again, with the process, I was clear that one of the stipulations wasn't going to be that he had to be in for that Pakistan series because that would have narrowed the field. My job was to go out there and get the very best person we could and I felt that was Stephen Fleming.
“A month ago, this probably wasn't on his radar, so a lot has happened in a very short space of time. He's got a lot of life events and things going on at the moment and going into the next little bit, but he'll be over at some stage this summer and we'll start planning and working out the intricacies, the ins and outs of everything we're going to do to try and have a sustained period of success,” said Key to Sky Sports News on Friday.
