Root to captain England after Fleming confirmed as new men’s Test coach

Stephen Fleming has been confirmed as the new England men's Test cricket coach, with Joe Root returning as captain for a second spell. Marcus Trescothick will serve as interim coach for the three-match series against Pakistan beginning at Headingley in three weeks, while Fleming is expected to arrive in England later this summer and take charge for the winter tour of South Africa. Fleming was described as a unanimous choice following a rigorous recruitment process led by men's cricket managing director Rob Key.
