England have employed a veteran Australian bowling coach and an All Blacks mental-skills guru in a bid to win their first Ashes series down under in 15 years.
Almost one month out from the first Test in Perth, England officials have confirmed bowling coach David Saker will return to Brendan McCullum's staff for this summer.
A long-time assistant with both England and Australia, Saker was England's bowling coach when they last won an Ashes series away from home in 2010-11.
