Ottis Gibson: 'I won't apply for England head coach role'

Ottis Gibson insists that he has no interest in becoming England's new head coach in the near future.

West Indies head coach Ottis Gibson has insisted that he does not have any interest in taking over the England team in the near future.

A number of names have been linked with the role following Andy Flower's resignation but Gibson claims that he is focused on achieving success with the West Indies, who take on England in the first one-day international on Friday.

"The West Indies job is tough enough, and I'm fully committed to this one to get it right and improving the fortunes of West Indies cricket," the 44-year-old told journalists at a press conference.

"When you're not working then every job appeals to you, but at the moment I'm working and working hard - so that is all I'm looking at right now."

Gibson spent three years working as a bowling coach for England before taking over the West Indies team in 2010.
