Gloucestershire have appointed former Bangladesh coach Shane Jurgensen as a bowling consultant.
The 49-year-old Australian has had two stints as bowling coach of New Zealand and has also been in charge of the Fijian national team.
After a year as bowling coach of Bangladesh, Jurgensen stepped in as interim head coach following Stuart Law's departure - leading the side to a 3-2 One Day International (ODI) series victory against the West Indies in 2012.
Two months later, Jurgensen became Bangladesh head coach on a full-time basis, and under his leadership the Tigers completed a 3-0 ODI series whitewash of New Zealand as well as securing a Test win against Zimbabwe, their first in four years. He resigned in April 2014.
He has now signed a deal with the County Championship Division Two's bottom club until the end of June, after they went down to an innings and 225 run defeat at the hands of Durham inside three days at the weekend.
"We're really pleased to have Shane Jurgensen with us for the next three months," Gloucestershire's director of cricket Jon Lewis told the club website.
"Shane is an outstanding fast-bowling coach with real leadership experience and qualities. He has worked with some of the best players in the world, and we hope he can impart that knowledge onto our playing group."
