Andrew Strauss has recruited Sir Dave Brailsford, the former performance director of British Cycling and director of sport at Ineos, to his high-performance review of English cricket. Dan Ashworth, the former director of elite development at the Football Association, has also been hired as Strauss looks to propel England’s men’s teams to the top of the rankings in every format.
Strauss chairs the England and Wales Cricket Board’s performance cricket committee, which is conducting research before producing a proposed pathway to global dominance in time for any necessary restructuring of the domestic calendar to be voted on this year and implemented in 2023.
