England and Wales Cricket Board managing director Paul Downton believes Peter Moores is the right man to take England forward.

Downton was speaking after a disastrous World Cup, which has seen England go out in the group stages.

I have every faith in Peter Moores.

Part of the reason for appointing Peter Moores was he is a very experienced coach.

Whoever took this job was going to have a really difficult job.

We had a side that broke up in Australia, we had to introduce new players and part of dealing with it - which was obviously going to be pressurised - was that experience.

We're very early into an appointment. Much as we'd like to change things instantly, it takes time.
