Jofra Archer has been ruled out of IPL 2021 as he underwent surgery for a long-term elbow injury.
Earlier this week, England's star player Jos Buttler said that the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) had never asked him to skip the popular T20 event to be available for the Test series against New Zealand.
Archer went home to Brighton between the first and second Tests of the ongoing three-match series against the West Indies, contravening strict guidelines.
Even the ECB Director agreed that they have to create an environment where the West Indies and Pakistan both feel safe while travelling to the United Kingdom.
The start of the cricketing season in England was delayed till May 28 due to the pandemic and with no immediate solution in sight, there is a chance of further postponement.
Silverwood said improving the fortunes of the Test team under Root's captaincy would be his top priority.
England have not advertised the position, with Giles instead gathering interest before a final shortlist is drawn up.
Ashley Giles, managing director of England' men's cricket, also stated that following Trevor Bayliss' departure, the hunt for England's next coach is in full swing.
England allrounder Ben Stokes desperately wanted to be handed back the Test vice-captaincy, a role which he was stripped off in late 2017.
World Test Championship is the International Cricket Council's latest attempt to bolster the five-day game.
