London: England named former West Indies paceman Ottis Gibson as their fast bowling coach on Thursday for a Caribbean tour in April. It will be the second time the 46-year-old has been in charge of England's pace attack.

He was fast bowling coach from 2007-2010 before becoming West Indies' head coach. The English Cricket Board (ECB) said Gibson would join the team next week ahead of the start of a three-Test tour of the West Indies in April.
