00:00Yes, some news for England cricket now.
00:03Stephen Fleming has begun work as England's new test head coach
00:07with the former New Zealand captain, outlining an ambitious vision for the side.
00:14Fleming says he wants England to return to the top of the test rankings
00:18and believes the World Test Championship should be treated as a major priority.
00:24He has also made clear he does not want to abandon the attacking style
00:30developed under Brendan McCollum and Ben Stokes,
00:33but wants to add more cricketing awareness at key moments.
00:37Fleming described the previous approach as remarkable,
00:40saying it's influenced cricket worldwide,
00:42while saying England's identity now needs to evolve.
00:46Here is what Stephen Fleming had to say to the press.
00:50It's one of the most prestigious jobs in cricket,
00:53and I was really honoured to be asked.
00:55The process was interesting.
00:56I came out of an 18-year role with Chennai.
01:01Certainly not expecting to have an opportunity like this,
01:04so it was not by chance, but it's always about timing, I guess.
01:09But, yeah, it took me a little bit of time to process leaving the shorter format,
01:14but the opportunity to take up this role is one that you don't turn down.
01:21It's nice to be in a position to work with him.
01:23It's been a while.
01:25And to work on some of the things that both Brendan and Ben Stokes did
01:29with the English cricket team.
01:31It depends which timeline you want to talk about,
01:33but for me, the way they changed the nature of Test cricket was quite remarkable,
01:38and I have a huge amount of respect for the courage that that took.
01:42And so-called blue,Damat편az.com
01:43So-called blue,
01:44put them to be OMG!
01:44They said one of the things that студies ate,
01:44and they she ate all the work that is weaponized out,
01:44they said one of the benefits.
