England are close to appointing a new head coach with Chris Silverwood the current favourite for the job.
Silverwood, who is currently England’s bowling coach, has been interviewed for the role and discussions over the appointment have been taking place this weekend, Sky Sports News understands.
He is now set to replace Trevor Bayliss, who departed as head coach last month after four years in charge, and an announcement could be made as early as next week.
Gary Kirsten, the former India and South Africa coach, is also understood to have been interviewed by the ECB.
Silverwood is familiar with the England set-up having worked under Bayliss, and won both divisions of the County Championship while in charge of Essex.
