New Delhi. Gary Kirsten, the former coach of the Indian cricket team and South Africa, has shown his interest in coaching the Test team of England. He said that he has a good strategy to carve England captain Joe Root and his team.
It is worth noting that in the 5 matches of the Ashes series (Ashes Series AUS vs ENG 2021-2022) played so far, Australia won the series by defeating England and winning the series. However, 2 more matches are yet to be played. Because of this, England’s
The job of head coach Chris Silverwood is in danger. Significantly, in this latest Test series, Australia won the third Test match played in Melbourne (Melbourne AUS vs ENG) in just two and a half days. Remind you that Gary Kirsten had led India to the top of the ICC Test rankings for the first time in December 2009, just a year after becoming the head coach of Team India. After that, he coached South Africa and brought it to number one.
Gary Kirsten said in an exclusive conversation with a news network, “I have been thinking about this matter (to become the head coach of England) for a long time, because it will be a great honor.” It is also worth noting that this is not the first time that this former batsman of South Africa cricket team and a highly successful coach at the international level, Gary Kirsten has expressed such a desire. Earlier, on two occasions, he was also the main contender to become the coach of the England cricket team.
Gary Kirsten said, “I have been in this position twice (in 2015 and 2019) so far. I have already clearly said that I am not ready to handle this responsibility in all formats. Now the International Cricket Board is considering having separate coaches for different formats, so that can be considered.
World Cup-winning coach Gary Kirsten considered England’s ODI team as the best team in the world. But, he said that England’s Test team is still far behind. Kirsten said, “Working with their (England Cricket) Test team or ODI team will be a great experience. His ODI team is currently the best team in the world. I have such a plan, which has been prepared after a lot of contemplation, contemplation and brainstorming. His Test team has been struggling for some time now. But, it would certainly be a great plan to recover from.”
