In the wake of the Ashes series’ humiliating loss, former hitter Ian Bell believes England should reestablish the traditional selection committee to select teams. In the process of change after almost 100 years, the Cricket Board of England and Wales abolished the selection committee.
In April, Ed Smith left as the last head coach after three years in office. Since then, head coach Chris Silverhood has selected national teams on the advice of captains Joe Root and Eoin Morgan.
Bell told Sports Day: “The decision to terminate the selection committee seemed very tough to me. Chris Silverhood is also the head coach and selector, and how can a player honestly tell the coach that I have problems with this aspect of the team? game? Because he’s the one who makes all the decisions. “

Bell, who has played 118 Tests and 161 ODIs for England, said the coach should be someone who is not part of the dressing room and does not interact with the players on a daily basis. “The head of the selection committee should be the one who lives outside the locker room. He does not get emotionally attached to all the players and does not speak to them on a daily basis,” he added.
