- Silverwood departs a day after team director Ashley Giles
- Paul Collingwood and Alec Stewart among names in frame
England’s disastrous Ashes tour claimed a second scalp on Thursday night after Chris Silverwood was sacked as head coach, just a day after his old boss, Ashley Giles, was removed from his role as director of cricket.
With a Test tour of West Indies imminent, and a squad due to be announced next week, the new interim director of cricket Andrew Strauss will appoint a caretaker coach, with assistant coach Paul Collingwood, England Under-19s coach Richard Dawson and Surrey’s Alec Stewart in the frame. Strauss is also due to shake up the coaching structure and backroom staff.
