The England and Wales Cricket Board admitted there had been an "irretrievable breakdown" in the relationship between Moores and captain Kevin Pietersen and the ECB also revealed there had been a split in the dressing room caused by the row between the pair.

Hugh Morris, managing director of England cricket, said: "With regard to Peter Moores, the board determined that he should relinquish his role as England team director."

He added: "I have the greatest respect for the dignity which Peter Moores has shown in recent days when he has found himself under extreme pressure. The ECB wish him well in his future roles.

"I would also like to thank him for his contribution as England Team director and his work as National Academy director.

"The Board will announce the coaching set-up for the Caribbean tour as soon as possible and will embark on an immediate search for a coach who can provide England with the best chance of success in the coming years."
