News Americas, MIAMI, Fl, Fri. May 11, 2018: Legendary Pakistan spinner, Mushtaq Ahmed, has been signed by Cricket West Indies to teach spin bowling techniques to the beleaguered Windies team for a month.
The 47-year-old leg spinner, who claimed 185 Test and 161 ODI wickets during his stellar career, is expected to join up with the West Indies squad later this month as the team begins preparation to face Sri Lanka in an upcoming home series.
Prior to being appointed to the post, Ahmed worked in coaching positions with the Pakistan Super League, Indian Premier League, Surrey as well as the English Cricket Board. The former spinner also served as a bowling consultant to the England team for six years, a very successful period which saw the team win the T20 World Cup and multiple Ashes.
