Nottinghamshire have named former players Mike Hendrick and Andy Afford as part-time bowling coaches.

Hendrick, who will work with the seam bowlers, played 30 Tests for England and has also worked with Derbyshire.

Afford, who took 468 wickets in 170 first-class fixtures for Notts, will work with the spinners.

Director of cricket Mick Newell said: "These are part-time roles and I wanted to recruit local people with strong ties to the club. I'm very pleased."

Hendrick, who enjoyed a distinguished three-year spell at Notts between 1982 and 1984 and was team manager in 1992, replaces Andy Pick who has taken on a role with the ICC in Canada.

Newell added: "Mike does a lot of work with the England age group sides and is very well respected in the game.

"We've got three relatively young spinners at the club in Graeme White, Samit Patel and Akhil Patel and I felt that it was important to appoint a coach who can give them the benefit of a wealth of experience and Andy fits that bill."
