The vacancy opened after the cricket board sacked McCullum following England's 2-1 Test series defeat to New Zealand. McCullum's resignation, along with Ben Stokes' retirement from Test cricket, has brought the Bazball era to an end and started a new chapter for England's Test team.
"We need to be progressive in these issues," Gould said. "We've got players trying to balance between county, franchise, international cricket. It's a really busy calendar. We may well have to do the same with our coaching staff and supporting staff; we already do, to an extent. But I think that is something that we will have to have a look at.
Andy Flower's Record Makes Him a Leading Candidate
Brendon McCullum coached England in 49 Tests after taking charge in May 2022. He recorded 27 wins, 20 losses, and two draws. However, England lost seven of their last nine Tests, including a 4-1 Ashes series defeat in Australia and a recent 2-1 home series loss to New Zealand.
Andy Flower signed a three-year contract with RCB before the 2024 IPL season. His leadership helped transform the team's approach and deliver consistent success. If Andy Flower accepts the England role, the ECB could allow him to continue working with the IPL franchise, depending on scheduling commitments.
Results Mean That We Need to Make a Change" - Richard Gould On Brendon McCullum's exit
"The results have not gone the way that we wanted them to go. It's always been a results-based business. Results mean that we need to make a change. At this particular time, we've got 10 Test matches until the Ashes start in 2027, and so whilst we have a significant amount of time to prepare again for that with a new coach coming in, we want to use as much time as we have available."
England will need to find the next Test coach before the three-match series against Pakistan in August. According to reports, the shortlist includes Rahul Dravid, Stephen Fleming, Justin Langer, Mike Hesson, and Andy Flower along with English candidates such as Richard Dawson, Jonathan Trott, and James Foster.
