After Australian coach Darren Lehmann another coach has now confirmed to step down in 2019. This time it is the England coach Trevor Bayliss who will quit the job once his contract expires in 2019.

Bayliss said, "I told Andrew Strauss probably 12 months ago that September 2019 I'm contracted to and that would see me out,"

"I've never been anywhere any more than four or five years. Whether you're going well or not I've always felt that roundabout that four-year mark is time to change. A new voice, a slightly different approach slightly reinvigorates things. So I passed that on him 12 months ago."

Bayliss is hopeful to see Joe Root captaining the English side again in Australia during 2021-22 Ashes. He said, "I think someone coming for the first time as captain, even with experience, it's going to be a hard tour to be on.

"I think he handled it pretty well. He is a young captain and I would expect in four years, when he comes back with another four years experience and an away Ashes under his belt, he'll feel a lot more comfortable."

Despite poor performances in Tests overseas, Bayliss led the team well in the limiited overs cricket. England played in the World T20 final and the Champions Trophys semi-finals since he took control.
