London: Former West Indies head coach Ottis Gibson has been appointed as a bowling coach for England on a temporary basis.
Gibson will participate in a fast-bowling performance camp in South Africa this winter, his first involvement with the game since his departure as head coach of the West Indies in August.
He will work alongside the lead fast-bowling coach, Kevin Shine, while the senior team’s bowling coach, David Saker, takes a break before a relentless 2015.
England have stressed that Gibson’s appointment is only on a short-term basis during the fast-bowling camp, which will be attended by seven players of varying experience.
They include established international Liam Plunkett and Surrey rookie Matthew Dunn. The camp will run from November 21 to December 10 in Potchefstroom.
