Former England star Alec Stewart has confirmed that he would consider taking up the new director of England cricket position with the ECB following Paul Downton's departure.
The England and Wales Cricket Board are restructuring their set-up, resulting in the exit of Downton, who was appointed managing director back in February last year.
The change was made just one month after England's poor World Cup campaign, which ended with the team failing to get past the group phase.
Today, Stewart, who is currently the director of cricket at Surrey, has revealed that he will hold talks with the ECB should they choose to consider him for the new role.
"I just want England to be the best side in the world, and if the ECB felt that I was the right person to help try and take them to number one, then of course I'd look at it, of course I would," The Telegraph quotes Stewart as saying.
"I've got a big job here, that's what I'm concentrating on, but at the same time, you've got to make yourself aware of other opportunities. And if England come calling, you shouldn't say no."
Former England captain Michael Vaughan is also open to possibly taking on the role.
