Former World Cup-winning captain Eoin Morgan named a few candidates who can take over the head coach role of England’s white-ball teams after Matthew Mott’s exit. However, Matthew Mott’s reign ended after two years following England’s exit from the 2024 T20 World Cup as well. And, Marcus Trescothick is currently in charge of the team on an interim basis as well, but the management would be keen on bringing in a new coach soon.

However, Morgan was one of the candidates brought up by fans and the media as well. However, the former player has denied the news, claiming that the timing is not right. However, he shared his opinion regarding who should be England’s next white-ball coach as well.

“You got to remember, it’s the England cricket team, it’s one of the most resourced cricket teams in the world, so it is up to Rob [Key] to make that role as attractive as possible. So you then go to the best coaches or highly regarded coaches in the world and say ‘Well, this is a job that you want to do as opposed to having to second guess it,'” Morgan told Sky Sports. “In my eyes, at the moment, you would go to Rahul Dravid, Ricky Ponting, Stephen Fleming, and Brendon McCullum. I say McCullum because I believe he is one of the best coaches in the world,” he further added.

Meanwhile, Rahul Dravid recently guided Team India to the 2024 T20 World Cup title, while Ricky Ponting guided the Washington Freedom in the recently concluded 2024 Major League Cricket (MLC) as well. Fleming has been a long-time head coach of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), whereas McCullum is the current England red-ball coach as well.

“You see what he did with the Test team? Yes, the biggest question would be how he makes it fit over the course of 12 months. You want the best person on the planet to come in and help Jos Buttler and the England cricket team get better. To be honest, I don’t think he’s given a lot of thought yet, and if anything, he should, and Rob Key should have that conversation with him,” Eoin Morgan concluded.
