Former Hampshire and England allrounder Dimi Mascarenhas has joined Essex as assistant head coach.
Mascarenhas, who will have responsibility for the bowlers, joins head coach Anthony McGrath, who retains a focus on the batsmen following the departure of former head coach Chris Silverwood, who took over as England bowling coach in January.
“He will bring a tactical nous to our white-ball cricket and help the squad improve on our performances in the One-Day Cup and T20 Blast in recent seasons. I know our bowlers are looking forward to working with him, and the whole squad will benefit from his technical and tactical knowledge as we prepare for another exciting season.”
