Peter Moores has been sacked as England coach in a reordering of command at the England and Wales Cricket Board which has also seen Andrew Strauss confirmed as the new director of cricket.
Both moves were widely anticipated, and confirmed in successive ECB statements on Saturday - the first concerning Strauss and second Moores.
The latter has therefore lost the same position twice, having previously held it between 2007 and 2009 and this time for barely a year since his reappointment in the aftermath of England's 2013/14 Ashes whitewash.
The second of the statements read: "The ECB confirms that Peter Moores has left his role as England head coach today."
England assistant coach Paul Farbrace will take charge of the team for the impending Investec Test series at home to New Zealand.
