- England has brought in Tim Southee, the ex-New Zealand pace bowler, on a short-term contract as a specialist skills advisor, beginning ahead of the Test match against Zimbabwe at Trent Bridge on May 22.
- At 36 years old, Southee concluded his Test cricket career in December 2024 after featuring in 107 matches and taking 391 wickets; his new role comes as James Anderson shifts his focus to county cricket.
- He will assist England’s bowling unit during the upcoming Test against Zimbabwe, the limited-overs matches versus the Caribbean team, and a series of five Tests against India concluding on August 4, working with a relatively inexperienced pace group.
- The ECB stated Southee “brings valuable insight and knowledge” from his wide experience across formats and conditions, having claimed 776 international wickets, a New Zealand record.
- This consultancy aims to strengthen England’s bowling resources in a pivotal season before Southee resumes playing for Birmingham Phoenix in The Hundred.
