Former England batsman Graeme Hick will be part of Australia's coaching team for their limited-overs series against the West Indies and South Africa during June.

Hick, who turns 50 next month, will take up a temporary role with the national team on their tour of the Caribbean.

The 10-match tournament runs from June 3-26, with Hick joining the squad along with ex-Tasmania bowler Adam Griffith who has also been drafted into the set-up for this one-off series.

For the past three years Hick has been employed at Cricket Australia's centre of excellence in Brisbane and will be assistant coach for the tri-series event.

Hick, who spent 24 years with Worcestershire, struck 136 first class centuries and represented England in 65 Tests and 120 ODIs.

Griffth's appointment as bowling coach follows the resignation of Craig McDermott, while Justin Langer will be head coach for the tournament in the temporary absence of Darrren Lehmann.
