Ashley Giles sacked as England team director after dismal Ashes campaign

The Hindu  

One of the leaders of English cricket has stepped down following the humiliating Ashes series in Australia. Ashley Giles, managing director of the England men’s team, is leaving after three years in the role. “Off the back of a disappointing men’s Ashes this winter, we must ensure we put in place the conditions across our game to enable our test team to succeed,” said Tom Harrison, the England and Wales Cricket Board’s chief executive. Under Giles, England won the 50-over Cricket World Cup for the first time but has had a turbulent time in the Test format, with the ECB’s focus seemingly having been on white-ball cricket. “The past couple of years have been incredibly challenging, and I’m proud of what we’ve been able to deliver in the toughest of circumstances,” said Giles, a former England Test spinner.
