OWN CORRESPONDENT, London | Thursday 1.50pm.
BOB WOOLMER, who quit as South Africa’s cricket coach last weekend, says he is tempted by the prospect of taking charge of England in place of David Lloyd.
However, Woolmer said on Wednesday he has not been approach by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) as they search for a successor for Lloyd who leaves his post after the World Cup this summer.
“If I was approached, number one, I would have to discuss it early with the powers that be — what it entails and what I might, if anything, achieve and what they want from me,” said the former England Test batsman and Warwickshire coach.”
Meanwhile, the United Cricket Board of South Africa has sent a list of proposals to Woolmer, detailing their vision for his continued involvement with South African cricket, it was reported on Thursday.
Woolmer is due to give up the national coaching job after the World Cup in England in May and June and he has let it be known that he wants to remain involved in South African cricket after that albeit on a part-time basis. — AFP
