Congratulations to Geoff Miller

The men who will shape the England team that will attempt to regain the Ashes in 2009 have been chosen. Geoff Miller, the former England all-rounder pictured left in 1981, has been appointed to the new full-time post of National Selector, a role that was recommended by the Schofield inquiry into last winter's Ashes debacle. He will be advised on selection by Peter Moores, the head coach, and two new part-time selectors in Ashley Giles and James Whitaker.
