ECB in talks with Andrew Strauss for directorship

LONDON: England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) begun talks with former Test captain Andrew Strauss to take responsibility as director of cricket.

British broadcaster Sky Sports said on Friday Strauss has been talking to the England and Wales Cricket Board over the past week about becoming the country’s director of cricket, AP reported.

However, the development increased threats for the future of under-pressure national coach Peter Moores.

The wide-ranging position, which will be responsible for delivering a “world-class performance environment for all formats”, was created after the ECB fired managing director Paul Downton last month following England’s dismal Cricket World Cup campaign.
