Paul Collingwood: 'Peter Moores is under pressure in England role'

Collingwood: 'Moores must relieve pressure'

Paul Collingwood has claimed that Peter Moores could lose his job if England continue to struggle to find success.

England started their World Cup campaign with a 111-run defeat to Australia last week, and Collingwood believes that the pressure will continue to grow on the coach in his second stint in charge of the team.

"In the industry we are in, it comes down to results," the former England all-rounder told BBC Radio 5 live.

"Things will have to change around quickly if he doesn't want the pressure on his shoulders.

"If you are a batsman who doesn't put runs on the board, or a bowler who doesn't take wickets, you get dropped and it's exactly the same with a coach. If you don't get results, people will be looking at your job."

England return to action in Pool A against New Zealand on Friday.
