Former Black Caps spinner Jeetan Patel has taken up a full-time coaching role with England Cricket.

Patel has worked with England over the last 18 months as a consultant coach, working with players during the men's team's tours of New Zealand and South Africa last summer.

However, the English Cricket Board announced this morning he has been promoted to a permanent Elite Spin Bowling Coach.

The 40-year-old starts his job immediately as he's currently with the team in India.

Patel played 24 Tests and 43 ODI's for New Zealand but also spent 13 years playing for Warwickshire in English County cricket.
