Former England Test and one-day player James Taylor has rejoined Leicestershire as batting coach.
A heart condition forced him to retire from playing just five years after he left Leicestershire in 2011.
“I’m delighted to be back,” he told the club website.
“I’ve got so many fond memories here and I can’t wait to add to those.
“A real passion of mine is helping people and coaching is something where I can do that. I’ve got a wide range of different experiences and hopefully some of that knowledge can transfer to the players.”

He went on to join East Midlands rivals Nottinghamshire and won the first of his seven Test caps the following year.
