Cricket Australia has recruited England spinner Monty Panesar as its spin bowling consultant for the team’s tour of India starting next month.
According to local media reports, Panesar will travel to the Centre of Excellence this week to work with left-arm spinner Steve O’Keefe a as well as Matt Renshaw.
“Having Monty come up is a nice way to kick start the squad’s thinking about playing in India. We want the batsmen to be thinking about what the bowlers will be trying to do to them over there and Monty can engage them that way as well as with the bowlers,” Howard was quoted as saying by the Australian .
Australia has not won a Test in India since 2004.
