Legendary Australian cricketer Shane Warne has shown interest to become the next head coach of the England cricket team.

Following England's 4-0 loss in the Ashes 2021/22 series, coach Chris Silverwood was removed from the role of the team's head coach. Paul Collingwood has been named as the interim head coach for the Test tour of the West Indies.

Speaking on the vacant position, Warne reckoned he will do a ‘pretty good job’ with the England cricketers.

“I’d like to do it, it’s a great time to be England coach. I think I’d do a pretty good job, there’s a lot to work with. There are so many good players in England and a lot of depth, but you’ve got to get some of the basics right. You can’t bowl no-balls and drop so many catches, but you’ve got the players, they’re just not performing," he said.

Warne was disappointed and lashed out at Cricket Australia with Langer’s sudden sacking from the team.

“Cricket Australia were disgraceful in the way they handled it. Winning an Ashes series and a World Cup, it doesn’t get much bigger than that. But [Langer] was a dead man walking. When I didn’t hear the captain or any other players sticking up for him, saying he was fantastic, I found that really disappointing,"

“Why couldn’t Cricket Australia come out and say they were not renewing his contract straight away but would wait until the end of the summer, see who the best candidate is, and if Langer is still the best candidate give him a contract? If I were England I’d be jumping at him,” he added.
