Profile
Peter Moores has established himself as one of the leading England-born coaches after a long, efficient career keeping wicket for Sussex, for whom he made over 500 dismissals. He first honed his skills as a member of the MCC groundstaff, and although he joined Worcestershire in 1982, his opportunities were limited by the ever-present David Humphries. He moved to Hove in 1985, initially as understudy to Ian Gould, and won his cap four years later. He was elected captain in 1997 after a winter of upheaval at Sussex, becoming player-coach in 1998. He retired midway through that season to concentrate on coaching and quickly established a reputation in that field. Under his direction, Sussex won the second division of the Championship in 2001, and then main title itself in 2003, Sussex's first title in their 164-year history. His ever-growing coaching skills were recognised by the ECB who appointed him as coach on the England A tour in 2000-01, and in 2005 he was appointed as Rod Marsh's successor as director of the ECB's academy. He quickly made a name for himself in the role, and it was not a surprise when he succeeded Duncan Fletcher as the England coach in May 2007.
