Moores - worked with Adams at Sussex.
By PA Sport staff
Sussex captain Chris Adams believes Peter Moores would be a "revelation" as England coach.
Today's resignation of Duncan Fletcher means Academy director Moores has been tipped to take temporary charge for the forthcoming Test series against West Indies, which starts on May 17.
The England and Wales Cricket Board confirmed the appointment of a caretaker would be made by Saturday and a permanent successor to Fletcher may be in place "quite quickly" according to ECB chairman David Morgan.
Adams, who led the south-coast county to the County Championship title last season, believes former team-mate Moores would be a great appointment.
He told Sky Sports News: "We are all hoping Peter will end up being permanent England coach.
"He's a good friend of mine and a fantastic coach - and I believe England cricket is ready for someone to take it to the next level.
"He'd be a revelation, he's very enthusiastic and has a lot of ability in terms of coaching.
"He's a very different person to Duncan Fletcher and has a different style.
"Peter's very hands on, is a terrific one-on-one coach and he sees his main role as making his players excited to play cricket every day.
"The England job is the biggest job in this country and maybe the world - very different to managing a little club on the south coast.
"But he has won a lot of admirers and you can't fail to be impressed by him when you meet him.
"One player has said he has this magic dust which he just throws around which makes players perform. It creates an environment they are happy to be in."
