England would consider the old New Zealand stimulator Tim Southee as a quick steel consultant before a summer season at home which includes a series of five marquee tests against India. The 36 -year -old is one of the contenders to replace the veteran The James Anderson rhythm, who assumed the role after his retirement from the test cricket last year, but is not available this summer due to the gaming commitments with the County of Lancashire. Southee had called time for her red ball career in December, ending with 391 test counters, just behind Sir Richard Hadlee on 431.
According to the BBC, he shares a strong relationship with the head coach of England Brendon McCullum.
In addition to McCullum, the former New Zealand Spinner Jeetan Pate is also one of the coaches of England coaches, currently a bowling coach.
Summer in England begins with a unique test against Zimbabwe next month, followed by a series of white balls against the Antilles, before hosting India in a series of five -game tests from June 20.
