Former England Head Coach Chris Silverwood Returns To Essex As Director Of Cricket
The Cloud County Ground: Former England men’s head coach Chris Silverwood has made a return to Essex as their Director of Cricket. Silverwood, who was the head coach when Essex won the 2017 County Championship title, will take up the role from mid-December.
He replaces Anthony McGrath, who has moved on to become head coach of Yorkshire. Starting from 2010, Silverwood spent eight seasons with Essex, two of which were as head coach. He oversaw the club’s promotion to Division One in his first season as head coach and followed it up in the upcoming season with Essex getting their first Championship title in 25 years.
“I’m absolutely delighted to return to Essex. It’s a Club that holds very special memories for me, with the success we enjoyed in 2016 and 2017, and it’s been great to see the success Anthony McGrath has had in the years in between,” said Silverwood in the club’s statement.
