The former Australia opener is understood to be the leading candidate for the role, although his existing commitments with IPL franchise Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and The Hundred side Manchester Super Giants could complicate the appointment.
The ECB has identified Justin Langer as its preferred choice to succeed Brendon McCullum as England's Test head coach after the New Zealander's departure from the role.
However, his coaching commitments with Lucknow Super Giants in the Indian Premier League and Manchester Super Giants in The Hundred remain the biggest hurdle. The report adds that there are strong indications Justin Langer could end his association with LSG if negotiations with the ECB move forward.

Andy Flower rejected becoming England Test coach
Justin Langer's chances of landing the England job improved further after former England head coach Andy Flower ruled himself out of the race.
The Zimbabwean is currently involved with London Spirit in The Hundred and Royal Challengers Bengaluru, whom he guided to the IPL title earlier this year. Speaking about his decision, Flower said he is happy with his current coaching roles and does not believe combining franchise commitments with an international coaching position is the right move at this stage.
Why was Brendon McCullum sacked as England Test head coach?
Brendon McCullum's stint as England's Test head coach came to an end following a prolonged decline in the team's red-ball performances.
England failed to win a Test series against either Australia or India during McCullum's tenure and lost seven of their last nine Test matches. A 2-1 home series defeat to New Zealand, which also marked Ben Stokes' retirement from Test cricket, proved to be the final setback.
Overall, McCullum finished with a record of 27 wins, two draws and 20 defeats as England's Test coach. While he has stepped down from the red-ball role, he will continue as England's head coach in white-ball cricket.
