Australia's Troy Cooley appointed as fast bowling coach of the National Cricket Academy

Cooley is considered one of the best fast bowling coaches in world cricket

The BCCI is all set to appoint decorated Australian coach Troy Cooley as fast bowling coach at the National Cricket Academy with an aim to create the country's next generation of speed merchants.

Cooley is considered one of the best fast bowling coaches in world cricket. His biggest moment of glory came as England's bowling coach during the historic 2005 Ashes where the home team's fast bowlers became a nightmare for the Aussie batters.

The success of Andrew Flintoff, Matthew Hoggard, Simon Jones and Steve Harmison was attributed to the presence of Cooley in the English dressing room and his role in plotting the Australian downfall.
