Moores renews Lancashire deal

Lancashire's head coach Peter Moores has signed a two-year extension to his contract following the county's first outright championship title for 77 years. His contract will now run until 2014.

Moores' rehabilitation has been swift since he was sacked as England coach three years ago, following a rift with the then-captain, Kevin Pietersen, who also lost his job as a result.

He guided an unfashionable Lancashire side to the title when many judges had regarded them as relegation probables, repeating the success he had enjoyed at county level with Sussex before taking up the England role.

Moores said: "I am really pleased to commit to Lancashire. I have enjoyed my time immensely."
