Chris Silverwood, the coach who led Essex to an improbable County Championship last season, has been appointed as England's new fast-bowling coach, the ECB confirmed on Wednesday (November 1). His official start date will be decided once final terms have been agreed with Essex but it is likely that Silverwood will begin early next year on the limited overs part of the tour to Australia.
