Stephen Fleming, former New Zealand captain and long-time Chennai Super Kings coach, is set to become England's new Test head coach, succeeding Brendon McCullum.

Other candidates included Richard Dawson, Jonathan Trott, and Tom Moody. Fleming will work alongside McCullum, who remains England's white-ball coach.
