London: Days after Brendon McCullum was appointed head coach of the England Test facet, Paul Collingwood is prone to beat off competitors from former Australian cricketer Simon Katich and the ladies’s World Cup-winning crew coach Matthew Mott to develop into the white-ball coach.

The new England males’s cricket managing director, Rob Key, is because of “make his determination on the place” soon, according to dailymail.co.uk.

With it being made known that the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has decided to split the red- and white-ball coaching roles, the report added that, “An appetite to appoint a home-grown candidate combined with a lofty global standing in limited-overs cricket should result in England plumping for Paul Collingwood as their new white-ball coach ahead of an Australian.”

Collingwood, 45, was interim coach of the England facet when it toured the West Indies for the T20 and Test excursions earlier this 12 months. He was given interim cost as chief coach Chris Silverwood had stepped down following England’s debacle within the Ashes.

The report added that by handing Collingwood the teaching reins of the white-ball facet, the ECB would “present continuity”, given that the former England cricketer has been part of the coaching setup for four years.

Unlike the Test side, which has won just one of its last 17 games, and triggered the move to bring in New Zealand’s McCullum as head coach for red-ball cricket, the white-ball teams have done remarkably well and currently sit second in both the ICC ODI and T20I rankings.

England reached the semifinals of the ICC T20 World Cup in the UAE last year before they were shown the door by New Zealand.
