England's test head coach vacancy remains open after Flower declines

The England Test head‑coach role has been vacant since Brendan McCullum stepped down. Andy Flower, who was also linked to the job, turned it down because of his commitments with the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL and The Hundred side London Spirit. With Flower out of the picture, Langer’s name has risen to the forefront of the shortlist, supported by Lehmann’s remarks.
