Collingwood appointed England's interim coach

LONDON: Paul Collingwood has been appointed as England's interim men's head coach for the three-match Test series against the West Indies in March. Collingwood was serving as the assistant coach to Chris Silverwood, who left his role as head coach last week after England's 4-0 Ashes defeat by Australia.

Apart from Silverwood, Ashley Giles and Graham Thorpe lost their jobs as men's managing director and batting coach respectively. Collingwood took charge of the England team when they lost the T20I series to West Indies 3-2 last month.

Currently, Collingwood, a former England all-rounder, is taking a break in Barbados before joining the England team arriving in Antigua on February 25. IANS
