Former Glamorgan captain Morris, the current ECB deputy chief executive, will take over as managing director of the England team from next Monday.

Ex-England skipper Gatting will begin work as managing director of cricket partnerships immediately, with his position overseeing the first-class and recreational game.

The appointments, which follow Giles Clarke's arrival as chairman, are part of the governing body's response to the recommendations of the Schofield report, commissioned after England's dismal Ashes tour last winter.

Former England women's captain Clare Connor will succeed the retiring Gill McConway as the head of women's cricket.

ECB chief executive David Collier: "I am delighted that Hugh, Mike and Clare have accepted these positions.

"Their experience as captain of their counties and England, together with their knowledge of the Cricket Foundation, Chance to Shine, club cricket and the Lord's and Lady Taverners, will greatly strengthen the cricket department within ECB.

"These appointments were recommended within the England Review and approved by the board this summer."
