The ECB has announced that Ottis Gibson will join the England set-up as fast bowling coach for the upcoming tour of West Indies.

The 46-year-old previously spent a three-year spell from 2007 working with England's bowlers and will return to the coaching fold next week.

ECB managing director Paul Downton said in a statement: "We are delighted to have secured a bowling coach of Ottis's calibre as he is highly respected among the fast bowling fraternity and his knowledge and experience of local conditions will be invaluable in the Caribbean.

"We must, however, stress that this is a short-term appointment at this stage. No decision has yet been made on a long-term replacement for David and we will need to review how we staff this position going forward following the conclusion of the West Indies tour."

Current fast bowling coach David Saker will leave his role in September.
