England captain Alastair Cook has expressed his belief that Peter Moores remains the best coach to lead the team, despite Sunday's five-wicket defeat to the West Indies.
The loss resulted in England drawing the series 1-1 in the Caribbean, and prior to the tour, incoming ECB chairman Colin Graves stated that there would be an 'inquiry' if the team failed to beat the West Indies.
Graves also described England's opponents as "mediocre" prior to the series, which Cook believes wasn't particularly helpful for his side.
"We've prepared the players well and they've responded to Moorsey," the Daily Mail quotes Cook as saying. "There's been a lot of good stuff with him but as with all these decisions they're nothing to do with me and nothing to do with Moorsey.
"A comment is a comment. People will say what they want but it's never ideal against an opposition you're just about to play because it gives them a team talk. We can't control that and if we'd played to our potential here and taken our opportunities we would have been okay.
"I don't think it's inquiry time when you look at how we played over the 13 days but I think we can all sit in that dressing room and know we've let an opportunity go."
Moores has been England coach since April last year.
