Former New Zealand head coach Mike Hesson is reportedly a leading candidate for the vacant England Test coach position. News of his shortlisting follows a tumultuous period for England's Test team, seeking stability after recent performance struggles. Hesson, who guided New Zealand to the 2015 Cricket World Cup final, has a strong reputation for building successful teams and developing players. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) initiated the search after Chris Silverwood’s departure, aiming to revitalize the Test side. Several candidates are under consideration, but Hesson's experience and tactical acumen have apparently impressed the selection panel. An announcement regarding the new coach is expected in the coming weeks, as England prepares for a crucial Test summer.
