Ashes: Joe Root's & Chris Silverwood's future, county cricket - the fall-out begins
Harmison, who was part of England's 2005 Ashes-winning team, said it would be "ridiculously short-sighted" to remove Root and Silverwood as captain and coach respectively, adding "the system as a whole needs to change".
"From a player's perspective too I think when you're looking at a coach you want to see him as a confidant and be able to approach him if you're not in the greatest of form and say 'coach I'm in a hole, and I want to get out of it, can you help me?'."In 2021, England have struggled in India during the winter, been beaten by New Zealand on home soil and have now endured a chastening Ashes series with two matches still to go.
Agnew said the scheduling is a "disaster" and the Championship should be moved back to "being the spine of the season rather than being shunted to the extremities". "Batters need to learn how to bat for six hours and there is only one batter in this team that is doing that consistently over a long period of time - that is Joe Root," Harmison said.
