MUMBAI: The BCCI, taking heed of captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni's plea for a bowling coach for the team, on Monday appointed former South Africa coach Eric Simons as the Indian cricket team's bowling consultant for the two Tests against Bangladesh and the subsequent home series against South Africa.

 

“Eric Simons has been appointed Bowling Consultant of the Indian cricket team for the Test series against Bangladesh, and the Test and ODI series against South Africa,” BCCI Secretary N Srinivasan said in a statement.

 

Test series against Bangladesh starts January 17, while the two Tests and three one-dayers against South Africa are scheduled next month.

 

India has been without a bowling coach ever since Venkatesh Prasad was sacked following the team's disastrous Champions Trophy campaign in September-October last year.

 The 47-year-old Simons, who played 23 one-dayers, was South Africa's national coach from 2002-2004, the statement added.
