Ashley Giles has been named as England's limited-overs head coach as team director Andy Flower looks to reduce his role with the national team.

The England and Wales Cricket Board have confirmed that former off-spinner Giles will take over the reins to "provide a more efficient and sustainable use of coaching resources".

Flower will remain as England team director, and tour with the Test team, but Giles will take over for next month's limited overs tour of India.
