England cricket coach Peter Moores’ position will come under fierce scrutiny after his country’s disastrous performance at the World Cup.

Monday night’s 15-run loss to Bangladesh in Adelaide sent England home early and capped their worst ever performance at a World Cup.

It was a dismal tournament for England, who were destroyed by Australia, New Zealand and Sri Lanka before being beaten by Bangladesh.

Their only win so far was against Scotland, but they have one more match – against Afghanistan on Friday – to come.

Moores said the problem was personnel.

“The reality is we’re not overloaded with a lot of high-class one-day players,” he said.

Moores is keen to continue in the role.

“I want to carry on desperately,” he said.

“There will be a million and one things people say, could we have done this or could we have done that?

“What has happened has happened. I don’t think that’s fundamental.”

Moores, meanwhile, has been given the backing of England and Wales Cricket Board chief Paul Downton, who insists he remains the right man for the job.

“I have every faith in Peter Moores,” Downton told Sky Sports.

“Part of the reason for appointing Peter Moores was he is a very experienced coach.

“Whoever took this job was going to have a really difficult job.

“We had a side that broke up in Australia, we had to introduce new players and part of dealing with it – which was obviously going to be pressurised – was that experience.

“We’re very early into an appointment. Much as we’d like to change things instantly, it takes time.

“Look at New Zealand and where they were with their one-day cricket two years ago – it takes time to bring things through.

“We had a very successful team between 2009 and 2013, we have to rebuild again.

“There are no shortcuts. We have to back our players, invest in them and in time we will be back there again.”

Skipper Eoin Morgan was shellshocked after the loss.

“To be honest, I have no idea what happens from here,” Morgan said.

“I’m still surprised that we are knocked out so early.”
