Peter Moores (born 18 December 1962 in Macclesfield, Cheshire) is a former English county cricketer and served two stints as the England national men's team head coach.
Moores played as a wicketkeeper for Worcestershire and Sussex and captained Sussex in 1997. He retired from playing first-class cricket in 1998 and became the coach of Lancashire County Cricket Club, on 11 February 2009. Moores was a successful coach of Sussex leading the county to the 2003 County Championship. Moores coached England "A" on their tour of the West Indies in 2000-01 and the English National Cricket Academy from October 2005 to 2007. He was appointed coach of the full England team in April 2007. On 7 January 2009 Moores was removed as coach following a public falling out with Kevin Pietersen, who also left his position as England captain.
He became the coach of Lancashire County Cricket Club, on 11 February 2009. In 2011, he became the only coach to have won the championship with two different counties.
In 2014, Moores was re-appointed to coach the England national men's team, serving until shortly after the 2015 World Cup.
Moores began his career at Worcestershire, where he made a name for himself as a young and talented wicket keeper. However, his opportunities were limited due to the consistency of David Humphries. He moved to Sussex in 1985, but again found his opportunities limited. Four years later he won his County Cap. In 1997 he was made Sussex captain and became part of the coaching set up. He retired in 1998 at the age of 36 in order to focus on his coaching career. Moores scored 7 first class centuries, and also hit 8 List A fifties. Throughout his career he achieved over 800 dismissals, 727 of these being catches.
