Moles set to land Scotland job

Kenya's coach Andy Moles is the favourite to be appointed as Scotland's new coach according to a report in Scotland on Sunday.

Moles made the four-man shortlist to replace Tony Judd, and according to the paper will travel to Edinburgh next week for a final interview.

"The shortlist has been cut to Moles and one other," a Cricket Scotland source told the paper, "but Moles has impressed from the start. It would be a surprise if he doesn't get the job."

"Andy had loads of success with Warwickshire and has developed a good reputation as a coach," Dougie Brown, Scotland's allrounder and a former team-mate of Moles's at Warwickshire, said. "His big-match experience both as a player and a coach would stand him in good stead if he lands the Scotland job."

While the Kenyan board denies that Moles is going anywhere, it is an open secret that he has had enough of the infighting and disputes which have undermined his attempts to build on Kenya's success in the World Cup.

And while Kenya have no matches scheduled for more than six months, Scotland have a very busy summer which includes the ICC Trophy in August.
