AMSTERDAM: The Dutch Cricket Association (KNCB) announced on Friday that head coach Ryan Campbell has added Sussex coach Ian Salisbury as a specialist coach to the support staff ahead of the men's T20 World Cup starting from October 17 in Oman and the UAE.

"As the national coach of the Dutch team I have always tried to surround the players with people who possess the know-how and experience. Ian Salisbury is one of is one these people and an excellent coach. His knowledge of spin bowling will be an enormous help in the UAE. Together with Chris Liddle (fast bowling coach), James Hilditch (senior assistant) and Evan Speechly (physio), form our coaching staff," said Campbell in a release by the KNCB.

Salisbury played in fifteen Tests and four ODIs for England between 1992 and 2000, taking 20 and five wickets respectively. In county cricket, Salisbury has represented Sussex, Surrey and Warwickshire from 1989 to 2008.

"This is a very good team, including a number of very talented spinners. They are brilliantly coached by Pieter Seelar and Ryan Campbell. It is an honour to have been invited to be part of the coaching team. The team has a chance to add a new chapter to the Dutch sports history. For me, as a coach, is a good experience for me to develop further. I have learned a lot from working with the English Women's Team competing at the World Championships and I am sure that this tournament will also be a valuable experience," commented Salisbury on his appointment.
