• Replacing Trevor Bayliss will be Giles’ first critical decision
Ashley Giles will succeed Andrew Strauss as the managing director of England’s men’s cricket in January, the ECB has confirmed. Tom Harrison, the chief executive, described Giles as “the standout candidate amongst a very strong field”.
Giles was a stalwart member of the England team that Strauss played in at the beginning of this century and that won the Ashes in the greatest series in living memory in 2005. Giles may not have been the most talented cricketer in that dressing room but he was reliable and a fine influence.
