England's white-ball returns have suffered a steep decline after failing to defend the title twice in the last 12 months in India and USA-West Indies, which led to the resignation of then head coach Matthew Mott earlier this year.

Director of Cricket Rob Key said, “Hoppo and Doss are two outstanding coaches who have played a vital role in the success of our white-ball teams. In addition to his coaching expertise with our senior teams he has also developed young players through the age groups to help establish the next era of our white-ball teams. “England cricket is in a better place because of him and I wish him all the best in the next chapter of his career.”
