England legend Ian Bell outlines coaching ambitions after joining up with Derbyshire

Since announcing his retirement at the end of the 2020 county season, Ian Bell has coached all around the world.

The 40-year-old has worked with England's Under-19s, as well as franchise sides like Birmingham Phoenix in The Hundred and Hobart Hurricanes in the Big Bash. Bell is currently enjoying a brief two-week stint as a batting consultant at Derbyshire, having been given an opportunity by the club's new head of cricket Mickey Arthur.

Bell played more than 100 Test matches for England during a stellar international career which saw him score 7727 runs at an average of 42.69, make 22 centuries and win the Ashes five times. And in his post-playing career, he is also looking to reach the pinnacle as a coach.
