Most Successful Coaches in Cricket History
#10. Duncan Fletcher, England (1999-2007) and India (2012-2015)
Duncan Fletcher has remained one of the most prolific coaches in the history of cricket. Fletcher’s first exceptional stint was with England cricket where he helped the Test team defeat Australia at the Ashes after 18 years. Furthermore, Fletcher also helped England flourish in the white-ball format. Duncan then took on a responsibility with the Indian cricket team and assisted the Men in Blue to lift the ICC Champions Trophy in 2013.
The new-age coaches including Brendon McCullum are also working phenomenally well. McCullum recently developed England’s Test team and is generating great results. India’s Rahul Dravid and Australian Justin Langer are also in the race to storm into the most successful coaches list.
