Kirsten, who guided both India and South Africa to the top of the Test rankings in his avatar as coach, said on Friday that he would waste no time in approaching “the best minds” in English Test cricket to help him with the job he was overlooked for earlier.”It would be a massive privilege to be offered a job of that nature. Three years ago I was asked to come for an interview and my focus is always on the form of the game where I think the team can go to new heights. ‘The first conversation I would have with the powers that be is to make sure you have in the room the best five or six experts on the Test game in English cricket. So for me, the stand-out would be Alastair Cook,” Kirsten told dailymail.co.uk on Friday.Kirsten said that an unsettled England top-six was one of the reasons for the Test team’s poor showing in the year gone by. The Joe Root-led side’s latest humiliation has come in the form of the Ashes defeat, where they have so far lost all three Tests by huge margins.
