England have appointed former West Indies captain Kieron Pollard to their coaching set-up for next year's T20 World Cup.
The 36-year-old will join as an assistant coach for the tournament in the West Indies and United States to provide expertise about local conditions.
England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), in its press release, said Pollard has been added to the coaching panel to provide expertise of local conditions.
"Pollard will join the England men's team specifically for the T20 World Cup as an assistant coach and to provide expertise of local conditions," the ECB said in a statement.
"Pollard was a part of West Indies' 2012 men's T20 World Cup success and has vast experience in the format having played more than 600 matches."
England are the defending champions having won their second T20 World Cup title in 2022 in Australia.
All-rounder Pollard hit 2,706 runs and took 55 wickets in 123 one-day internationals, while he scored 1,569 runs and claimed 42 wickets in 101 Twenty20 internationals.
He was also part of the West Indies squad which won the 2012 T20 World Cup and captained West Indies in 63 matches before his retirement from all formats of international cricket in April 2022.
Pollard is still an active player in T20 franchise cricket and skippered Trinbago Knight Riders to the final of this year's Caribbean Premier League.
He is one of the most experienced players in T20 cricket having played 637 domestic matches in the format, winning the Indian Premier League five times.
Last week, England lost the fifth and deciding T20 against West Indies to suffer a 3-2 series defeat. They also failed to qualify in the final four of the recent 2023 ODI World Cup where they won only three games out of nine.
