Sir Andrew Strauss says England 's interim head coach Paul Collingwood is "definitely" in the running to get the job permanently, describing next month's tour of the West Indies as "a great opportunity" for him to impress.
Three senior members of staff lost their jobs following England's disastrous performance in the Ashes, with managing director Ashley Giles, head coach Chris Silverwood and assistant coach Graham Thorpe all getting axed.
Collingwood has been appointed interim coach for the three-Test series against the West Indies and is among the contenders to replace Silverwood on a permanent basis, with Strauss saying he is 'definitely one we should have an eye on for a head coach role'.
