James Whitaker will step down as England’s national selector at the end of March as part of an overhaul of how the country selects players.
Whitaker had been a selector for a decade and chief selector since 2013.
Under its revamp, England will introduce a scouting system with “discipline-specific scouts”.
They will provide information to a panel made up of a new national selector, a full-time independent England selector and the head coach.
“The new approach will allow us to see more players throughout the county game, more often, and simplify the selection process,” England director of cricket Andrew Strauss said.
