Duncan Fletcher's achievements as England coach have been recognised with his induction into Britain's Coaching Hall of Fame.
Fletcher, 56, was honoured on Thursday for his part over the last five years in lifting England off the bottom of the world rankings to second - just behind Australia.
"I am very honoured," he told the BBC Sport website. "It has been a great year for the England team and I would really like to thank all the players and the management team for their contributions."
Fletcher has overseen more Tests than any of his predecessors in the England set-up, and he is second only to Bob Simpson in the all-time list. Having followed up a stint as Western Province coach between 1993 and 1997, with a position at Glamorgan, he came into the job with trusted contacts around the county circuit, who helped him unearth Michael Vaughan, Craig White, Marcus Trescothick and Andrew Flintoff for the international side.
