Nottinghamshire Director of Cricket Mick Newell has bolstered his coaching team for the remainder of the 2015 season with the addition of Peter Moores as Coaching Consultant.

The 52-year-old joins the backroom staff at Trent Bridge for a three-month fixed-term period.

“We need to improve our four-day performances quickly and Peter, with his vast experience and proven reputation as a coach, can help us do that,” Newell said.

“Having such a knowledgeable and respected individual on our doorstep, who is available for the rest of the season, is a fantastic opportunity for us to take.

“Peter is an excellent one-to-one coach, who will bring fresh ideas and can work with players to improve their form. It also offers our existing coaching team the opportunity to learn from him. ”

As well as his international experience, Moores has won the LV= County Championship on two occasions, with Sussex in 2003 and with Lancashire in 2011. He was the England & Wales Cricket Board’s National Academy Director for a two-year period starting in April 2005.

“I feel very excited about the opportunity to work as a consultant coach at a Club as prestigious as Notts,” said Moores. 

“My role will be to support Mick and the rest of the coaches and to be there to help the players in whatever way possible.

“I’m looking forward to adding something to the group during the business end of the season. 

“Trent Bridge is a great place. I look at it as being one of the great cricket grounds in England and, living only 20 minutes down the road, I know the significance cricket has in the area.

“It will be really interesting getting up close with some of the lads, watching them play, seeing where they are at and helping them maximise their talent, because there are some very talented players there.

“The job is to help people play some good cricket, working alongside the players and the coaches to help Nottinghamshire win games. League positions look after themselves if you’re playing well.”
