Former West Indies coach Ottis Gibson has been re-appointed as England's fast bowling coach for the upcoming tour of the Caribbean.
The 46-year-old spent three years coaching England's quicks before taking over as West Indies head coach back in 2010.
Ex-Windies paceman Gibson left that role by mutual consent last August and has agreed to coach England's pacemen as they attempt to secure victory in a three-match series which begins next month.
England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) managing director Paul Downton revealed that no decision has been made on a long-term replacement for current fast bowling coach David Saker, who has agreed to take over as Melbourne Renegades coach.
Downton said: "We are delighted to have secured a bowling coach of Ottis' calibre as he is highly respected among the fast bowling fraternity and his knowledge and experience of local conditions will be invaluable in the Caribbean.
"We must, however, stress that this is a short-term appointment at this stage. No decision has yet been made on a long-term replacement for David and we will need to review how we staff this position going forward following the conclusion of the West Indies tour."
Gibson was recently employed by the ECB as fast bowling coach for England Lions on their tour of South Africa and the England Performance Programme’s four-week training camp for fast bowlers before Christmas.
England and West Indies start their Test series in Antigua on April 13.
