No communication from Stephen Fleming: CSK CEO unaware of head coach’s alleged interest in BCCI job

Fleming has been involved with the Chennai Super Kings since 2008 and has been their coach for the last 15 years.

Will Stephen Fleming leave Chennai Super Kings amid reports of the former New Zealand skipper being the front-runner for the role of India cricket men’s team head coach? Fleming has been with the Men in Yellow since the start of the IPL. First as a player in the inaugural season (2008) and then as their head coach in 2009. He’s taken the side to multiple titles (5 in IPL and 1 in MLC). 

Stephen Fleming hasn’t discussed India head coach job with CSK

But is he willing to leave it all for the position of India’s head coach? According to CSK CEO, Kasi Viswanathan, our guess is as good as his. “I have not heard anything like this. There has been no communication from Stephen Fleming to CSK either,” Viswanathan told Sports Now.

Fleming to replace Rahul Dravid? 

According to reports by Indian Express, the BCCI has contacted Stephen Fleming, and informal discussions regarding the head coach job have already taken place in the ongoing IPL 2024 season. However, the 51-year-old hasn’t yet accepted or rejected the idea of a 10-month yearly availability. 

Considering his affiliation with CSK and a hectic India cricket team schedule, it seems uncertain if Fleming wants to be with Team India for the next 3.5 years as an all-format coach and leave Chennai behind.
