England appoints David Saker as the fast bowling coach for the Ashes and World Cup.

The 56-year-old Australian, David Saker has been announced as England's fast bowling coach for the much-anticipated Ashes series. This won't be the first time Saker has worked with the England team, having been part of the coaching staff during the 2010-11 Ashes triumph Down Under.

His wealth of experience and expertise will prove invaluable to the English fast bowlers as they prepare to take on the fierce Australian batting line-up on their home soil. 

Saker's previous stint with the team saw him play a pivotal role in England's historic Ashes victory, and the team will be looking to him once again for guidance and direction.

But that's not all - He has also been entrusted with the responsibility of leading England's fast bowling attack in the upcoming 50-over World Cup, which is set to take place in India later this year. The stakes are high as the team looks to defend its title, and Saker's proven track record will be crucial in helping the team achieve their goals.

Having previously worked with England's white-ball bowlers before their T20 World Cup triumph last year, veteran coach David Saker is set to return to the England set-up as their fast bowling coach for the upcoming Ashes series. 

Saker's five-year stint with England ended in 2015, after which he worked with Australia's fast bowlers, including current skipper Pat Cummins, from 2016 to 2019.

During his time with Australia, Saker played a key role in helping the team reclaim the Ashes in the 2017-18 series. He is also currently the head coach of Melbourne Renegades in the Big Bash League, further underscoring his credentials as a top-class cricket coach.

With Australia currently sitting at the top of the ICC Test rankings and England having won 10 of their last 12 Tests under the leadership of captain Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum, the Ashes promises to be an enthralling contest. Saker's vast experience and expertise will undoubtedly prove invaluable to England's fast bowlers as they look to take on the formidable Australian side in what promises to be an exciting and closely-fought series.
