Former Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardene has been appointed as the England's batting consultant on Tuesday for the upcoming three-match Test series against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates.

Jayawardene will impart his knowledge of playing spin during the warm-up period and the first Test match in the UAE, while former England skipper Paul Collingwood was assigned the task to work with the limited-overs squad in the series and during next year's Twenty20 World Cup in India.

The first Test will commence on October 13 in Abu Dhabi, while the second and third one will be held in Dubai (October 22) and Sharjah (November 1) respectively.

The Test series will be followed by a four-match ODI series and Twenty20 matches.
