FORMER Australia coach John Buchanan has been appointed as a consultant by England to help Andrew Strauss' team win the Ashes in Australia for the first time in 24 years in November.
Buchanan, 57, coached his country to three successful Ashes campaigns from 2001 to 2006-07 (when Australia won 5-0), losing just once in 2005.
England regained the Ashes in 2009 but has not won a test series in Australia since Mike Gatting led them to that honor in 1986-87.
"I can confirm John Buchanan will be arriving in the next 48 hours," an England spokesman said yesterday.
Buchanan is renowned for his technical theories and use of psychology, but has divided opinion. Former Australia leg-spinner Shane Warne remains an outspoken critic of Buchanan's coaching approach.
