Embattled England coach Duncan Fletcher was given a timely boost on Monday with backing from England and Wales Cricket Board chief David Morgan.

 

The clamour for Fletcher's sacking has been growing throughout a nightmare tour of Australia which has seen his England side whitewashed in the Ashes series and so far outclassed in the one-day competition. But Morgan told BBC Radio Five Live: "What we decided to do is not have any final decisions about what his (Fletcher's) aspirations are until the end of this tour. I don't anticipate him going. That is my assessment of the position," he added.
