Peter Moores vents out his frustration after getting sacked as England head coach

The 52-year old was having his second stint with England after serving them from 2007-2009.

Following an abysmal World Cup 2015 and a drawn Test series against West Indies, England head coach Peter Moores was relieved from his role. The announcement by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) came shortly after former England skipper Andrew Strauss was confirmed in the newly-vacant role of director of England cricket.

Disappointed with ECB’s decision, Moores in a report from The Independent said, “At the moment it’s difficult to put into words how I feel except to say how disappointed I am in the way my term as England coach has ended.”

“I will walk away knowing I’ve given my all to the role and always put the team at the front of any decision-making,” he added.

Even the ECB understood that they had treated the man in not an appropriate manner, who had given his heart and soul to rebuild the team.

“Peter is a man of great integrity and has offered a huge amount to England cricket.” An ECB statement read.

“He is admired by the players, his colleagues at the ECB and right across the game and deserves both our deep thanks and the widest recognition for his commitment and contribution.”

The 52-year old was having his second stint with England after serving them from 2007-2009.  Moores was reappointed as head coach in April 2014, replacing Andy Flower after England’s Ashes whitewash in Australia.

Assistant coach Paul Farbrace will take temporary charge of the side for the two-Test series against New Zealand, which starts at Lords on 21 May. Former Australian fast bowler Jason Gillespie, who at present is the coach of English county Yorkshire, is tipped to be favourites to take the position.

“I knew when I took on the role that this was going to be a tough period for English cricket and I would need time and support to get new players through. My frustration is not being given that time,” Moores concluded.
