Australian Saker hired again to guide England's quicks in Ashes

- BY DAVID CHARLESWORTH

ENGLAND have once more turned to Australian David Saker to oversee their fast bowlers in the upcoming Ashes as Tim Southee is unavailable for most of the hotly-anticipated series.

Saker first coached England's pacemen between 2010 and 2015, including in 2010/11 when they last won an away Ashes series, and he reprised the role in their 2022 T20 World Cup triumph in Australia.

The Victorian was also in situ for the drawn 2023 Ashes series in England after an approach from Ben Stokes, while he has been on both sides of the divide having worked with Australia from 2016 to 2019.
