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.[2] 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.[3] 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.[4] From January 2025 the roles will be combined again as McCullum takes over as white-ball coach.[1]
