    "editor1": "<p><strong>London, Feb 7:&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;Former Australia fast bowler and current Sussex head coach Jason Gillespie will join the England Lions coaching staff temporarily, spending 12 days with the red-ball squad during their upcoming tour of Australia that is scheduled to begin from February 8.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Gillespie, who took over 400 international wickets, and Jason Kerr, will join Lions&#39; head coach Richard&#39;s Dawson&#39;s to prepare for three matches.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I&#39;m excited by the opportunity to work with Richard Dawson, his support staff and all the players,&quot; said Gillespie.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It&#39;s a great chance to listen and learn from different people and I hope that I can add some value to the team from my own cricket experiences.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) Performance Director Mo Bobat said: &quot;This will be a great opportunity for our young pace bowlers to learn from one of the best in the business. Jason was not only a quality bowler, but is also an excellent coach with vast experience who will no doubt leave a lasting impression on the squad.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Learning how to impact games with the ball in Australian conditions is a great challenge and having Jason on hand to help our players with this is of huge value. It will no doubt stand them in good stead for future Ashes success.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I&#39;m encouraging the whole squad and management team to make the most of Jason&#39;s time with us, to tap into his experience and local knowledge to improve themselves as players and coaches over the coming weeks,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Lions play three four-day games on their tour of Australia, starting with a match against Cricket Australia XI in Hobart, starting on February 15. They then take on Australia A in a pink-ball day\/night match at the MCG before finishing the tour with a four-dayer against a New South Wales XI.<\/p>\r\n",
