Rob Key should be sacked after ridiculous Joe Root and Stephen Fleming decisions: Yorkshire Post Letters

Peter Rickaby, Moat Way, Brayton, Selby.

How much longer does English cricket have to put up with the ridiculous decisions made by ECB director of cricket, Rob Key?

His choice of yet another foreign coach for our five-day test team is worse than the last, Stephen Fleming possesses no experience outside the IPL which is a 20-20 competition.

Likewise, his reappointment of Joe Root as captain is a definite step backwards.

Now is the time to dismiss Key and appoint an English head coach and captain from within our own first class counties.
