Eoin Morgan picks Rahul Dravid as potential candidate for job of England coach

The former England captain and World Cup winner believes that Dravid would be a good replacement to former coach Matthew Mott

Former England captain Eoin Morgan has included Rahul Dravid in his list of candidates who can be a replacement to Matthew Mott who recently stepped down from the position of England’s white-ball coach. Mott stepped down from the job following England’s disappointing ODI World Cup 2023 and T20 World Cup 2024 campaigns.

Dravid, who stepped down from the position of Indian team’s head coach after winning the T20 World Cup, is currently not in any role with a team and Morgan was quick to add him to the list of potential candidates which included the likes of Stephen Fleming, Ricky Ponting and England’s current red-ball coach, Brendon McCullum.

“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 added.
