Shine appointed as England bowling coach

LONDON (Reuters) - Former Hampshire seamer Kevin Shine was named on Tuesday to succeed Troy Cooley as England's new fast bowling coach.

Shine, 36, will join England for the latter stages of their current tour of India.

"No transition is seamless and it shouldn't be," Shine told the BBC. "There should always be that challenge involved.

"To get this role is a massive, massive honour. It's a huge challenge and I can't wait to get going with it."
