MICHAEL VAUGHAN has described the England and Wales Cricket Board’s treatment of Peter Moores as “disgraceful” after he was sacked as England coach on Saturday.
Moores had been under pressure since England’s World Cup nightmare earlier this year. The final straw was the Test series draw to the West Indies.
His departure was confirmed on Saturday afternoon, shortly after Andrew Strauss was appointed as director of cricket.
Vaughan, who revealed he had held talks about the director of cricket job as recently as last month, slammed the ECB in his Daily Telegraph column.
“I am not the biggest fan of Peter Moores as a coach but I like him as a person and the only word I can use for the way his sacking was handled is disgraceful,” wrote Vaughan, who captained England to Ashes glory in 2005.
He said that Moores’s sacking and the ousting of Alastair Cook as one-day captain was “a poor way to treat two men who have given everything to English cricket.”
