Peter Moores is new England cricket coach
The England and Wales Cricket Board says Peter Moores has been appointed as the new head coach of the England team.
The 51-year-old Lancashire coach replaces Andy Flower, who lost the test coaching role after England's 5-0 loss to Australia in the Ashes series last year.
It will be Moores' second spell in charge of the England team after a disappointing first stint between 2007 and 2009 during which he endured a difficult relationship with then-captain Kevin Pietersen.
Moores has been chosen ahead of current one-day coach Ashley Giles and three other candidates.
The new coach's first match in charge will be a one-day international against Scotland in Aberdeen on May 9, before England hosts Sri Lanka and India.
