IND vs ENG: England Coaching Staff Look To Add To Team's Overseas Wins

England head coach Chris Silverwood, who took charge of the England team in October 2019 by pipping the likes of World Cup-winning former India coach Gary Kirsten of South Africa, has led England to f

Trott was appointed as batting consultant prior to the home series against Pakistan at home, taking a job that was lying vacant and filled in temporarily by Thorpe after Mark Ramprakash was sacked prior to the 2019 World Cup.

England batting consultant's job has been highly sought-after as Trott admitted on Wednesday. "There are quite a few people looking to work with England," he said.

The former England batsman was replaced by Jacques Kallis on the tour of Sri Lanka and has since returned to take charge of the side on a tour of India where England's last series win came in 2012-13 with Trott as a player. The 39-year-old, who was born in South Africa but played for England in 52 Test matches, scored a hundred in the drawn game in Nagpur during the 2012-13 home Test series.

Trott spoke about his role with the team.

"I wouldn't reinvent the wheel. But it's about making sure that they're in the right space and ready to do whatever the conditions dictate and that their all-round game is in top shape," he said.

Both Thorpe and Trott have emphasized the need to score big on Indian wickets to wrest advantage.

Patel, who took over after Saqlain Mushtaq's contract as a part-time spin consultant ended in 2019, has been training the spin duo Jack Leach and Dom Bess.

A visa bungle had delayed him taking over but England had been in need of a specialist full-time coach, the lack of which saw both off-spinner Moeen Ali and leg-spinner Adil Rashid get disinterested fritter away great starts in Test cricket after a good show in white-ball cricket.
