Sky pundit Rob Key emerges as shock contender to become England director of cricket

Former England batsman Rob Key has emerged as an unlikely candidate to be the new managing director of England.

With England currently out in the West Indies on a three-Test tour, the role is currently being filled by Andrew Strauss on an interim basis. Strauss has been charged with appointing someone to the position full-time after Ashley Giles was sacked last month.

Giles, 49, fell on his sword following another dire display Down Under in the Ashes, with Australia romping to a 4-0 win. England's recent draws in Antigua and Barbados leave their current series all square heading into Wednesday's final match in Grenada, meaning a run of just one win in 16 Tests.
