Donald to join New Zealand as bowling consultant

[Sachinism]

Allan Donald, the former South Africa fast bowler, will be joining the New Zealand support staff as a bowling consultant. Donald was formerly coach of Zimbabwe's domestic team Mountaineers and was released from his contract, enabling him to take up the job, currently temporary, with the New Zealand team under John Wright. Donald had also briefly served as England's bowling coach in 2007. "I'm extremely grateful to Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) and the Mountaineers for agreeing to release me and I'm equally excited about the possibility of joining New Zealand Cricket on a more permanent basis," Donald was quoted as saying by Reuters on Monday. "Even though I was only in Zimbabwe for three months I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and learned a lot about being head coach. "Zimbabwe Cricket is undoubtedly heading in the right direction and I was looking forward to being a part of their return to Test cricket. But the opportunity to return to international cricket was irresistible and to work with somebody of the stature of John Wright is something which doesn't come along every day and I can't wait to get started." New Zealand are trailing 0-1 in the ongoing Test series against Pakistan and will play six ODIs in the lead-up to the World Cup next month. http://www.espncricinfo.com/newzealand/content/current/story/497155.html
