2005 Ashes-winning hero Ashley Giles was appointed as England’s new limited-overs head coach.
The lowest point in the former England spinner’s tenure came during March 2014 when England failed to reach the World Twenty20 semi-finals and lost to the Netherlands by 45-runs in Chittagong.

Giles is now cricket director and head coach of Lancashire County Cricket Club.
