The BCCI is set to appoint Australia's Troy Cooley as the fast-bowling coach at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru.
Cooley was with the England set-up during their historic 2005 Ashes campaign in which their fast bowlers, on home soil, became a nightmare for the Australian batters. A senior BCCI official told PTI that one of the biggest successes for both Sourav Ganguly and Jay Shah is to convince Troy Cooley to work with India's next batch of pacers at the National Cricket Academy.
The source added that the BCCI is likely to give Cooley a three-year contract and he will closely coordinate with the NCA head of cricket, VVS Laxman.
