Michael Vaughan: 'Peter Moores should be sacked as England coach'

Former England captain Michael Vaughan calls for Peter Moores to be removed from his position following the team's disastrous World Cup campaign.

Former England captain Michael Vaughan has called for coach Peter Moores to be removed from his position in the international set-up.

Moores has come under heavy criticism following England's disastrous Cricket World Cup campaign, which saw the Three Lions crash out in the group stages with one game to spare.

Vaughan, who served as England skipper for 51 Tests and guided the team to a memorable Ashes success in 2005, believes that Moores would be better suited to an alternative role, such as working with younger players.

"I believe it is time to remove Peter Moores from his current position and put him in a job where he can have the biggest impact on English cricket," Vaughan is quoted as saying by BBC Sport.

"I think he'd be absolutely suited to run the England system from around 15-20 years of age.

"He's a brilliant energiser, very good with the kids, very good with new ideas, bringing energy to young players, pressurising them, really focusing them."

England's last chance to salvage some pride comes on Friday as they face Afghanistan in their final match of the tournament in Sydney.
