London - Kevin Pietersen believes his former Test captain Michael Vaughan is best-placed to oversee a revival of England's fortunes.
The England and Wales Cricket Board announced the new position of director of cricket on Wednesday as Paul Downton lost his job as their managing director of cricket, with his current post also scrapped.
Vaughan was immediately linked to the role, with new ECB chief executive Tom Harrison eager to have Downton's successor concentrate solely on cricket performance rather than administration.
