Yorkshire County Cricket Club on Wednesday announced the appointment of Ottis Gibson as Head Coach on a three-year contract.

Ottis Gibson said the fact that Australian captain Steve Smith had admitted the tampering was a deliberate act planned by a group of players had tarnished the reputation of a great cricketing nation.

A disappointed South Africa coach Ottis Gibson says he has no excuses to offer for the "hiding" his depleted side has taken from a rampaging India, leaving him with a lot to think about going forward.

While Dale Steyn has been ruled out of the remaining matches with a heel injury, the Proteas on Tuesday added rookie pacers Duanne Olivier, Lungi Ngidi to their attack.

This will be Ottis Gibson's second stint as England's fast bowling coach. He will join the team next week ahead of the start of a three-Test tour of the West Indies in April.

Former West Indies head coach Ottis Gibson has signed a short-term contract and will work alongside the lead fast-bowling coach Kevin Shine.

Off-spinner Shane Shillingford was reported for a suspect action during West Indies' tour of India and was later banned from bowling in international cricket based on reports by an independent biomechanical analysis.

The West Indies captain said that his flight from Dunedin to Wellington for the second Test against New Zealand was his scariest for some time.

The bowling actions of key spinner Shane Shillingford and part-timer Marlon Samuels were reported during the West Indies second Test against India in Mumbai last month.

After losing all the two Tests to India, the West Indies were expected to put up a better show in the ODI format but it did not happen as another meek show in Kochi meant that India took a 1-0 lead by chasing down 212 with 88 balls to spare.
