The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) recently appointed Fleming as the new Test coach after sacking Brendon McCullum from the role. McCullum will continue as England's white-ball coach, while Joe Root has returned as the Test captain. Amid this, Ben Stokes' England comeback on the cards? Rob Key drops massive hint.
England decided to make the coaching change after a disappointing run in Test cricket. The team has lost six of its last eight Tests and has struggled to maintain consistency. Since February 2023, England have won 17 Test matches but lost 18.
Rob Key backs Stephen Fleming to rebuild England Test team

Rob Key reveals why Stephen Fleming is England's best hope
The managing director admitted that the last six months have been really tough, but there were a lot of positive and great things that happened under McCullum and Stokes, and people should not forget it. He said, “I think Stephen Fleming will just refine what is a potentially world-class team.”
He signed off by saying, “English cricket has had periods where we've been really good for a bit, and then it falls off. We beat the sides below us, and we compete against the ones above us. We want to create a system, and we want to make sure that English cricket actually not only has success but also sustains it, and I think Fleming will bring all of that.”
