 Mushtaq played his last Test in 2003 |
Pakistan have asked Mushtaq Ahmed to act as a bowling advisor for the one-day series against England, and he could become full-time assistant coach. The leg-spinner, 35, was a surprise call-up to the Test squad but did not play, with Danish Kaneria preferred.
"Mushtaq has a good knowledge and understanding of the game and he knows the England players well," said cricket board chairman Shaharyar Khan.
"We have retained him as bowling consultant for the one-day series."
Mushtaq, who has taken 185 Test and 161 one-day international wickets, has spent the last three years playing county cricket with Sussex.
"He works well with coach Bob Woolmer and captain Inzamam-ul-Haq and the players," Shaharyar added.
"He is one the candidates we are looking at to appoint as assistant coach on long-term basis maybe until the next World Cup in 2007."
He added the appointment of the assistant coach should be made before the home series against India early next year.
