DHAKA: Peter Moores is to be named England`s new head coach, BBC Sport understands.

It will be the 51-year-old`s second spell in charge of the national cricket side after an ill-fated reign between 2007 and 2009.

He replaces Andy Flower after being chosen ahead of England`s current one-day coach Ashley Giles and three other candidates.

Moores is the head coach of Lancashire, who he led to the 2011 County Championship title.
