Former captain Michael Vaughan says it is “ridiculous” England are yet to appoint their new national selector.<\/p>\n
The process to name the successor to Luke Wright, who announced he was stepping down on 22 January and left after the T20 World Cup concluded in March, has reached the final stages, with interviews for the position held this week.<\/p>\n
There have already been four rounds of action in the County Championship and England are set to name their squad for the first Test against New Zealand in two weeks’ time.<\/p>\n
“It’s ridiculous how they’re announcing a selector so late,” Vaughan said on the Stick to Cricket podcast.<\/p>\n
“I wanted the selector there on 1 April, going out, having a look, gathering information. <\/p>\n
“Luke Wright quit at the back end of Australia. We knew didn’t we?<\/p>\n
“It’s a long time, four months, to find someone.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former captain Michael Vaughan says it is “ridiculous” England are yet to appoint their new national selector.
