Maynard doubt over England future

Maynard is hoping to clear up his future with England
Matthew Maynard is still waiting to hear whether he will retain his position in England's coaching team under new boss Peter Moores.

Moores, who was appointed coach after Duncan Fletcher's resignation, will start his tenure on 1 May.

Maynard had been Fletcher's assistant for the past two years, but his England deal is up at the end of the summer.

"Not having a clue about what's going on is a little bit strange, but things will work out," Maynard told BBC Sport.

"John Carr [England director of cricket] came up to me a day after Duncan resigned and said 'look we don't know what Peter Moores wants when he comes in.

I love the place and I'd love to come back one day and coach

"'He might want to bring his own team in; we might want you to work with the Academy guys, just looking around the country at batsmen or working with individual batsmen'.

"So I don't know. I'm going to have 10 days to get over the jetlag, get over the winter, start training again, start getting the cricket head on again and see what happens after that."

Whatever the future holds for Maynard with England, it seems almost inevitable his coaching career will see him returning to Glamorgan.

The Welsh county's chairman Paul Russell has already revealed he would welcome Maynard back with open arms to Sophia Gardens.

Adrian Shaw was appointed coach in November - his first senior coaching position - and the 35-year-old has been assured he will be given time to stamp his mark on the side.

But a position of director of cricket has already been mooted for Maynard, and the 41-year-old openly admits he wants to return to his former stomping ground.

"I played 20 years of my career [at Glamorgan]. I love the place and I'd love to come back one day and coach," he said.
