Apparently he upset a lot of senior players because he wanted to be too involved in team selection where he should have had no involvement. He should have stopped with squad selection which was his remit. The winter tours were particularly strange with Woakes, Bairstow and Ali being shunted halfway across the globe and hardly playing, in Woakes case he didn’t play at all.
The coach should have ultimate responsibility for selection and this aligns cricket with other sports. Whether a player with a technical flaw in his batting will seek advice from the head coach knowing that he decides whether to pick him or not?
