London, Jan. 6 : The England and Wales Cricket Board has apparently given the green light to approach Graham Ford to become the cricket team's new coach.
South African Ford is the bookies' favourite to replace Peter Moores, who looks increasingly likely to lose his job this week following a bust-up with captain Kevin Pietersen.
Kent for whom Ford is their director of cricket, has said that it would not stand in his way if the England job came knocking.
