ECB has not contacted Langer in search for England's next Test coach

Langer says he has not been approached by the England and Wales Cricket Board as they seek a new Test coach for England. Manchester Super Giants coach says "it's all rumours" but doesn't rule out considering role.

The hunt for England's next Test coach is under way, and Langer's name has been part of the conversation surrounding the vacancy. He is currently the coach of the Manchester Super Giants and has responded to the speculation about a potential move to England's Test programme. His comments addressed the question of whether the ECB had made contact with him about the role.

Langer made clear that, to his knowledge, he has not been contacted by the ECB regarding the appointment. He dismissed the reports as "it's all rumours" while not closing the door on the possibility of considering the job in the future. Those two points — lack of contact and the refusal to categorically rule out interest — framed his response.

As the Manchester Super Giants coach, Langer kept his remarks measured and concise, reiterating that the coverage of the situation was unfounded in direct approaches to him. He acknowledged only that the speculation exists and maintained a cautious stance on any future decisions. The precise timing or next steps for himself were not specified.

The ECB's process for selecting a Test coach continues independently of his statement; Langer indicated he had not been engaged by the board. His public position left open the theoretical option of considering the role if circumstances or contact were to change. No additional commitments or plans were announced.

For now, the record stands that Langer has not been contacted by the ECB about the England Test coaching vacancy, and he characterized the reports as "it's all rumours" while stopping short of ruling out consideration of the job. The situation remains one of reported interest rather than a formal approach.
