Paul Collingwood has been confirmed as England’s interim head coach for next month’s Test series in the Caribbean after last week’s spate of post-Ashes sackings.
Andrew Strauss stepped in as interim managing director when Ashley Giles left, and has acted decisively promoting assistant coach Collingwood to replace Chris Silverwood for the three-Test tour. On Friday, Graham Thorpe, the other assistant coach, was also relieved of his duties.
