Richard Dawson is leaving Glamorgan to join England’s coaching staff.
The Welsh county must now find a replacement for a coach who led it to promotion in the Championship and sixth place in the division.

The club’s profile has also benefited from hosting The Hundred and paying off its stadium debts.
Several Glamorgan players have featured in England squads, but the county has not spent heavily on recruiting players.
The club has until the New Year to appoint a coach before most match preparations begin.
Possible candidates include current assistant coaches, but it is not clear who will apply.
