The big fight - KP and Moores rift

Former England captain Kevin Pietersen put the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) in an "impossible situation" after his public criticism of coach Peter Moores, according to chairman Giles Clarke.

Kevin Pietersen first threatened to resign as England captain in India before Christmas, England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) vice-chairman Dennis Amiss has said.

Kevin Pietersen has revealed the background into his astonishing removal as England captain while insisting he hopes to regain the post in the future.

Former Australian Test batsman Darren Lehmann says he would be interested in joining the race to coach Ashes rivals England, reports said Sunday.

Graham Ford is interested in the England job following the midweek sacking of Peter Moores, the Kent coach said on Saturday.

Andrew Strauss will captain England for their entire tour of the West Indies, including one-day internationals and the lone Twenty20, it was announced here Friday.

Australian Tom Moody dead-batted suggestions linking him with the vacant England coaching position.

Andrew Strauss was adamant he would have no problems working with ousted predecessor Kevin Pietersen after being confirmed as England's new Test captain.

Andrew Strauss promised the England team would come together after being confirmed here Thursday as their new Test captain after the exits of former skipper Kevin Pietersen and coach Peter Moores.

England's selectors will meet on Friday to discuss the squad and captain for their one-day and Twenty20 games against West Indies after confirming that Andrew Strass would captain the test team.
