Reuters: England head coach Trevor Bayliss has tipped his assistant Paul Farbrace to take over at the helm when he steps down from the role after next year’s Ashes series against Australia.

Farbrace will take charge of the team in their Twenty20 matches against Australia (Wednesday) and India (next month), allowing Bayliss to take a breather to watch county cricket.

“Definitely. If that’s what he (Farbrace) wants to do, then I’m all for it,” Bayliss told reporters when asked if the former Kent wicketkeeper could succeed him on a permanent basis. “He’s had success doing it before. This is an opportunity to get that experience.”

Bayliss, who helped Sri Lanka to a runners-up finish in the 2011 World Cup, will look to go one better when England host the showpiece tournament next year.
