Brendon McCullum is one of the prominent options, having coached Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL and led England’s Test side through the Bazball era. His aggressive cricketing philosophy and franchise experience could make him an interesting name for CSK. Mike Hussey offers a more familiar route, having been CSK’s batting coach since 2018. The former Australia batter also has coaching experience with Australia, England and Welsh Fire, although his availability could depend on his potential involvement with England under Fleming. Albie Morkel is another name with deep CSK connections.
