Former England head coach admits "tough" job left him "bruised and battered"

Current Nottinghamshire head coach Peter Moores had two stints in charge of England and has admitted the job left him "bruised and battered".

Moores first took over as England head coach in 2007, replacing Duncan Fletcher after England were whitewashed 5-0 in the 2006-07 Ashes. However, that stint ended acrimoniously following a high-profile fallout with then captain Kevin Pietersen in 2009, with Moores ultimately sacked.

He then returned to the job in 2014 when Andy Flower's time in charge ended, but was axed just a year later following a drawn Test series against the West Indies and a group stage exit at the Cricket World Cup. Despite this, Moores looks back fondly on his time in charge of England.
