List of England cricket team coaches

The coach of the England men’s national cricket team was a position first filled in 1986. There have been ten Test coaches and twelve one-day/T20 coaches in total, excluding interim appointment Paul Collingwood in 2022. All ten coaches to have held the Test role have also covered the limited overs formats for at least some of their tenure, including Peter Moores holding the combined position twice, while two (Ashley Giles and Matthew Mott) solely performed the role for white-ball cricket.

The role usually entails selecting players for squads (often alongside a selection panel and/or chief selector), selecting the starting eleven and giving media interviews. Commonly referred to as coach, the role has in the past also been labelled as team manager or team director.

The following men have held the position of head coach of the England Cricket Team. Duncan Fletcher is the longest serving coach, having held the role for eight years, and Peter Moores is the only man to have held the position twice.

The current coach of the test team is Brendon McCullum, appointed in 2022. McCullum also took on the role of white-ball coach from January 2025.

In 2012 Andy Flower resigned from his position of coach of the ODI and T20 teams, but remained in his role as coach of the Test team. Ashley Giles was appointed coach of the limited overs team but had no involvement in the Test team. Flower was the first of the two coaches to depart, with Ashley Giles being replaced as limited overs coach when Peter Moores was appointed as the roles were combined again. The role was split again after Chris Silverwood's departure in 2022 with the Test position going to Brendon McCullum and the white-ball role being taken by Matthew Mott. From January 2025 the roles were combined again as McCullum took over as white-ball coach.

Duncan Fletcher became the first foreign coach of the English cricket team (1999–2007), whilst his fellow Zimbabwean Andy Flower was head coach from 2009–2014. 2019 World Cup winning coach of the England team, Trevor Bayliss, is Australian. The current Test coach, Brendon McCullum, is a New Zealander, and Matthew Mott, white-ball coach from 2022 to 2024, is from Australia.
