Steve Harmison: Ashley Giles is the best choice as England coach

Steve Harmison says Ashley Giles is the best of the contenders for England's new head coach role.

Giles oversaw a World Twenty20 campaign that ended with defeat by the Netherlands and was at the one-day helm for a tough tour of Australia.

His management style has also come under fire from Michael Carberry, but Harmison thinks he is the best option.

"Ashley Giles is a better candidate than all of them put together," said the former England fast bowler.

Other leading contenders for the position include former South Africa and Australia coach Mickey Arthur, ex-Worcestershire and Australia all-rounder Tom Moody and current Lancashire coach Peter Moores, who coached England from 2007 to 2009.
