Marcus Trescothick has been named England batting coach as part of four new appointments to the coaching set-up.
Former opener Trescothick - who scored over 10,000 international runs for England across the formats between 2000 and 2006, including 5.825 in 76 Tests - will take up his new role in mid-March after stepping down from his position as assistant coach at Somerset.
Former New Zealand off-spinner Jeetan Patel has been named England's spin bowling coach, and youth team head coach Jon Lewis has been promoted to the role of the senior team's pace bowling coach.
"Marcus, Jon and Jeetan have demonstrated their ability at the highest level and also show huge potential for the future." ECB Performance Director Mo Bobat said in a statement.
Lewis will leave his job as Young Lions head coach with that role reconfigured into an elite pathway coach and filled by former Yorkshire off-spinner Richard Dawson, who will depart his position as Gloucestershire head coach at the end of March.
