'We don't have an MS Dhoni': Ex-England captain's blunt warning to Fleming
Michael Vaughan criticized Stephen Fleming's delayed start as England's Test coach, saying he should begin with the Pakistan series in August.
Fleming will not coach England during the three-Test home series against Pakistan starting August 19 at Headingley; he will take over in December for the South Africa tour.
Vaughan argued the delay lets England miss 'one-per-cent details' like learning grounds such as Edgbaston, which hosts an Ashes Test, and meeting county coaches.
Vaughan suggested England's agreement to Fleming's timeline indicates the England job has lost allure and shows desperation in appointing on his terms.
Fleming previously led Chennai Super Kings to five IPL titles and two Champions League trophies during his 17-year association, alongside MS Dhoni.
