Mickey Arthur has emphatically shut down any suggestions that he could become England 's new head coach, insisting the prospect "hasn't even crossed my mind".
England axed previous head coach Chris Silverwood following their embarrassing 4-0 defeat to Australia in the Ashes and Paul Collingwood has been installed as interim coach for the upcoming tour of the West Indies.
Arthur, 53, has a wealth of experience coaching international sides, having enjoyed stints as the head coach of South Africa, Australia, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
