London, Jan 19 (TIWN) Former England head coach Trevor Bayliss has backed former captain Andrew Strauss to lead the revival of England in red-ball cricket, citing his role in changing the fortunes of England in white-ball cricket in 2015. With England's revival in red-ball cricket becoming a hot topic of discussion due to 0-4 thrashing in the Ashes, Bayliss has endorsed Strauss's name to take up the reset project.
"Something desperately needed to change and England's commitment to improving after years of under-achievement led to winning the World Cup of 2019 and formidable 50-over and T20 international sides. The architect of that change, of course, was Andrew Strauss as then team director. I believe he would be the perfect man to do the same for England's red-ball game now, if his personal situation is such that he can devote the time to it," wrote Bayliss for Daily Mail.
