I think Angus Fraser being appointed as a selector is a good call.
Excellent news that Paul Collingwood is joining the coaching staff as well. He was talking about a much more proactive style of cricket.

I find it odd these appointments and decisions being made when there is no head coach in place as yet - surely he should be the man making these decisions.

Collingwood will join England on a short-term secondment from Durham, where he remains captain. Ashley Giles, the England Limited Overs Coach, added: “Colly will add great energy and a winning T20 pedigree to the tour party. We are really looking forward to his involvement.” Paul will be back in the North East ahead of the new domestic season, and will lead the Champions out at Emirates Durham on 20th April against Somerset in the LV=County Championship.

It'll be like Andy Farrell in rugby union.
