Excellent appointment, must give kudos to BCB for some really smart picks. Richard was the first full-time fielding coach of England for a span of 6 years from 2007-2013 and was promoted to assistant coach's role in 2011. He also led the England team a few times in the absence of Flower and drew the ODI series against India in 2012. In 2014 he was made the Head of Fielding Programme by ECB in National Cricket Performance Centre. He was also in line to be the Pakistan fielding coach but later refused the proposal due to personal reasons.
