Marcus North To Replace Luke Wright As England’s National Selector: Report
Wales Cricket Board: Former Australia batter Marcus North is reportedly set to take over as England’s new national selector, with the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) expected to formalise the appointment in the coming days. The Durham director of cricket has emerged as the frontrunner for the role after the completion of the interview process, edging out former England pacers Steven Finn and Darren Gough.
North is likely to step into a position that carries broader responsibilities than the role previously held by Luke Wright, who resigned following England’s Ashes campaign earlier this year, citing family commitments and the demands of extensive travel. The post of national selector has remained vacant since Ed Smith left the ECB structure five years ago.
If confirmed, the 46-year-old would become the first overseas appointment tasked with leading England’s selection process. While the national side has previously employed foreign coaches, including current head coach Brendon McCullum, the selectors’ role has traditionally been held by English cricket figures.
