The former Australia coach stated he has received no contact from the England and Wales Cricket Board about the position.
Direct Confirmation from the Australian
Lehmann spoke openly about the lack of any approach from the ECB regarding the Test vacancy.
He also suggested the board may already have identified a successor to current coach Brendon McCullum.
Lehmann confirmed he has had no contact whatsoever from the ECB about the role.
This statement puts an end to any speculation linking the Australian to the England job.
McCullum Successor Already Identified?

Key Takeaways from Lehmann’s Remarks
