England will not rush appointment of new coach as Ashley Giles reiterates one coach commitment

A shortlist is yet to be drawn up but the director of cricket hopes to have Trevor Bayliss' successor in place for the tour of New Zealand

England will not hastily appoint a successor to Trevor Bayliss and remain hopeful of filling the position before the tour of New Zealand, according to director of cricket Ashley Giles.

Internal, English and overseas candidates are all being considered for the role, but a shortlist and a formal interview process is yet to begin.

An interim appointment could yet be made for the series against the Kiwis, which starts on November 1 with the first of five T20s, followed by two Tests.

Giles' desire to identify the right person for the job means he will not rush into a move, even if it means England are without a permanent coach for their upcoming raft of fixtures.

"When we go to shortlists and interviews it will depend on circumstances and it'll be different with all these coaches," the former spinner said. "If we have to go to interim we will, hopefully, we won't have to. That bit if less important, it's about getting the right man for the next four years."

England's trials in the Test arena while their limited-overs teams continue to flourish has sparked debate whether coaches for both red and white-ball could be utilised.

Having been against the move since his appointment last December, Giles remains unwilling to contemplate such a move and believes it could create an unnecessary conflict within teams.

"I understand the chat around split coaches," he added. "Our experiences always affect our thinking. If we have two head coaches, we've got a group of players playing across multiple formats, one might be a really mature experienced coach, the other young less than experience.

"One might be flying the other and might not. There is a pull over Stokes, is he going to be rested for one series or not? There is a lot of conflict straight away. 

"Suddenly because this group is winning he likes this bloke a bit more. It might be nothing more than they're just winning. There are a number of things that might give me a headache quite quickly.

"Having the one voice is important but accepting that one voice is going to need some time away from the environment. When you've got three very good assistants it is an opportunity to develop them as leaders. It is a consent voice as sorts because the players will know them."
