Jason Gillespie has been named assistant coach for Australia A's upcoming tour of Zimbabwe.
The legendary pace bowler, who took 259 Test wickets for his country, is among a number of former players on a Cricket Australia fast-track coaching programme
Gillespie, 36, will work under head coach Troy Cooley on the month-long tour this month.
"This is a really good opportunity for me to learn more about coaching at this level from the likes of Troy Cooley," said Gillespie
"I spent last summer as head coach of MidWest Rhinos in Zimbabwe's first-class system and was recently the bowling coach for Kings XI Punjab in the IPL with coach Michael Bevan and captain Adam Gilchrist.
"This Australia A tour allows me to further dip my toe into the elite coaching system, to work with some of the best young cricket talent in Australia and to learn from experienced bowling coaches like Troy."
Australia A face a one-day tri-series involving Zimbabwe and South Africa A, then two four-day games against Zimbabwe.
