Merged

Warwickshire expect to have appointed an "assistant coach" to Ashley Giles by the end of next week.

Interviews will take place during the week for the new position which has been created by the merging of the existing jobs of Elite Player Coach and 2nd XI coach.

Dougie Brown and Keith Piper, the occupiers of the merged jobs, are among those to be interviewed for the new post which has been advertised only internally.

The Bears insist the staffing reduction has not been forced upon them by financial constraints - indeed with Ashes dosh already rolling in, the picture is fairly healthy - but is designed to streamline coaching operations and build continuity between academy, 2nd XI and 1st XI.

I hope Keith gets a good job coaching young wicket keepers if he is the one who misses out. I watched him a few days ago working with Richard Johnson, he is a natural coach when he is doing his stuff with keeepers. Dougie on the other hand has an amazing effect on the young men he is working with. They adore him and respond with their best efforts.
