Peter Moores insisted he could work with Michael Vaughan if he becomes England ’ s new director of cricket despite the pair ’ s chequered past . ‘ Of course I could , ’ said Moores in St Kitts on Thursday . ‘ It ’ s not a personal thing . People have views . We ’ re still going through a transitional spell so to me this is about getting England as strong as we can as quickly as we can . Whoever comes into that job I just want to share views to make sure we have the best way forward . The new man is expected to be a supremo who will be very much with the team but Moores was not sure England needed another voice in the dressing room . Michael Vaughan with Peter Moores in 2008 during his unsuccessful first spell as England coach . Moores ' position as England coach has come under scrutiny after a woeful World Cup campaign . ‘ I don ’ t think we do , ’ he said . ‘ It depends who takes the role and how that remit is set out . As always we will have to make it clear what the players have to do to go out and play for England . It depends how the job is set out . Moores is sad to see the departure of Paul Downton , the man who brought him back to the coaching job and called him the ‘ outstanding coach of his generation. ’ ‘ Paul ’ s a very passionate Englishman and everything he ’ s done has been to try to help us do better on the field and perform , ’ said Moores . ‘ When someone goes you ’ re always sad about that but my job is to make sure we don ’ t lose our focus on the Test series coming up . Paul Downton , with whom Moores was close , was sacked as managing director of England cricket . Former England captain Vaughan has emerged as the leading candidate to replace Downton . ‘ I don ’ t think this is about my position , I don ’ t think it changes much . I ’ m passionate about cricket , I love the game , and I ’ ve got a good record as a coach . It ’ s about the players and I will carry on doing my job here . I see some emerging players I ’ m very excited about and I ’ m going to stay committed to them . ‘ Tom Harrison passed on the news about what was happening with Paul and that we were going to restructure . He said to me ‘ nothing ’ s changed , keep doing your work ’ which is exactly what I ’ m going to do . ‘ I ’ ve spoken to Paul . He seems fine . He ’ s given everything to the job and has committed everything to it . ’
