Peter Moores has admitted that he is "disappointed" with his departure from his role as coach of the England cricket team.
The ECB announced that Moores will no longer be involved with the national side after appointing former captain Andrew Strauss as director of England cricket.
The 52-year-old said in a statement: "At the moment it's difficult to put into words how I feel except to say how disappointed I am in the way my term as England coach has ended. I will walk away knowing I've given my all to the role and always put the team at the front of any decision making.
"I believe time will show that I have been instrumental in the identification and development of a new group of England players who will go on and bring honour and success to the England badge. I am a passionate Englishman who believes in hard work and an investment in the right people will bring its rewards.
"I knew when I took on the role that this was going to be a tough period for English cricket and I would need time and support to get new players through. My frustration is not being given that time. To the players I want to say thanks for your support and commitment and I will be gutted not to work with every single one of you going forward. I wish you all the very best for the future."
Assistant coach Paul Farbrace will take charge for the upcoming Test series against New Zealand.
