"I’ve been speaking to Ben every single day since we had the incident and my assessment was that I was worried about him."

"It would be clarified so players are left with no confusion over behavioural expectations."

"I wanted to carry on in the role, despite the retirement of Ben Stokes."

"I've absolutely loved coaching the Test side and I'm incredibly proud of what we've achieved together."

"I'm open to evolution and some nipping and tucking, but without being ultimately able to steer the ship maybe there is someone better."

"I think his time will come in the Test job."

"I've got immense respect for KP and what he's achieved in the game."

"That's one thing I want him to do. It's not just bury himself in the batting per se, but look across the entire environment, look across how we run things and what we do, and if there's anything you pick up then just come and challenge me on it."

"The energy he's brought to the group already has been immense and you know I feel very privileged for us to be able to have him as a resource within our dressing room."

"Carse needs to 'get his house in order' before returning to international cricket."
