Ashley Giles

Giles should be made stand-in England coach

London, Jan 4  Ashley Giles should be made stand-in England coach in the West Indies while a permanent successor of Peter Moores is head hunted, according to a leading UK daily.

Assuming that Managing Director of England Cricket Board Morris cannot reconcile skipper Kevin Pietersen and coach Moores, the idea is gaining ground that Ashley Giles should take the team to the Caribbean as the temporary or emergency coach, The Telegraph reported.

Giles, an Ashes winner, England selector, a member of the last England team to win in the West Indies, and someone who has had a lengthy playing relationship with Pietersen.

He has almost everything except the experience of coaching, limited as he has been to one season in charge of Warwickshire.
