‘An Englishman could be CSK head coach’: Ashwin names potential Fleming successor
Former Indian all-rounder R Ashwin has sparked speculation over the potential successor to Stephen Fleming as head coach of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Ashwin, speaking on his YouTube channel, suggested that an Englishman could fill the position vacated by Fleming, who recently stepped down after 17 years at the helm of CSK.
Fleming was also recently appointed as England's Test coach. While Andrew Flintoff and Brendon McCullum have been mentioned in the rumor mill, Ashwin believes former England captain Eoin Morgan is the leading contender. Morgan's potential move to CSK would allow him to coach the franchise in both white-ball and Test cricket, with the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) reportedly open to the idea.
Ashwin emphasized that, despite the active trade window, CSK must first secure a head coach before any player transfers can be finalized. The team is currently without a coach, making the appointment a top priority.
