Ashley Giles takes over as England head coach

Warwickshire's Ashley Giles takes over as England ODI and T20 head coach.

Warwickshire's Ashley Giles has been appointed as England's ODI and T20 head coach.

Giles will take up a new role with Team England as head coach, although he will still report to Andy Flower in his capacity as team director.

Giles told reporters: "I am delighted to have been appointed England ODI and T20 head coach and to have an opportunity to coach at international level.

"I have worked closely with Andy in recent years as a selector and am looking forward to continuing to work with him to build on the progress that has been made with the ODI and T20 sides in recent years.

"I would also like to thank Warwickshire for the faith they showed in me when appointing me to my first major coaching role and for the outstanding support they have offered throughout my time at Edgbaston."

Giles retired from professional cricket in 2006.
