David Saker is set to reprise his role as England's fast bowling coach for this year's Ashes after the Australian was approached by skipper Ben Stokes at the Twenty20 World Cup last year.

"I don't think I'll do much test cricket, but I'm doing the Ashes. Ben said: 'I'd like to get you involved in the Ashes,'" Saker was quoted as saying by British media on Monday. "Once Stokesy pushed it, it made it an easy decision. I said yes straight away because of the magnitude of the occasion. I've been involved in Ashes with both parties and the cricket is as exciting as it gets. It's the biggest test event."The 56-year-old said he was looking forward to working with not only veteran pacers James Anderson and Stuart Broad but also Jofra Archer and Mark Wood.
