Giles quits as England selector after losing out to Peter Moores for head coach job

England's limited-overs coach Ashley Giles has reportedly resigned from the position of selector at the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) after being passed over for the role of national team coach.

Giles' hopes of succeeding Andy Flower in charge of the side across all three major international formats ended when the ECB announced they had recalled former Lancashire boss Peter Moores for a second stint as England coach.

According to Sport24, Giles, who guided Warwickshire to the County Championship in 2012, felt he that could no longer continue as an England selector and he has been replaced on the four-man panel by Nottinghamshire coach Mick Newell, who was also a candidate for the England head coach position.

Confirming Giles' resignation, ECB national selector James Whitaker stated that he is grateful to the former England spinner for his hard work and dedication to the team both as selector and coach, adding that the board hopes Newell will help the team with his passion, cricketing knowledge and in-depth understanding of the county game.

Newell, who will continue with his Nottinghamshire day job, will join a panel that also includes, Whitaker, Moores and another county coach in Middlesex's former England seamer Angus Fraser.

England's next match is a one-day international away to Scotland in Aberdeen on May 9, the report added.
