West Indies have named Richard Pybus as their interim head coach.

Former Bangladesh and Pakistan coach Pybus, currently the Windies' high performance director, will take charge of the side while a replacement for Stuart Law, who resigned last September, is found.

A Cricket West Indies statement read: "The CWI board of directors have already approved a succession planning programme for regional coaches and will simultaneously be conducting a regional search in order to appoint a long-term head coach for the Windies men's team from September 2019 onwards."

Pybus' first assignment will be against England later this month before overseeing a triangular series in Ireland, the 2019 World Cup this summer and then the visit of India.

He said: "I am really looking forward to working with Jason (Holder) and the Test and ODI teams, as well as Carlos (Brathwaite) and the T20I team, as we continue to build Windies cricket.

"We've got a great home series against England coming up. England are a high-quality side who will be an excellent test of the team in our home conditions."
