Former Australia Test captain Tim Paine has joined the Big Bash League (BBL) outfit Adelaide Strikers as an assistant coach ahead of the new season. Former Australia pacer and Strikers coach Jason Gillespie feels Paine, who retired from first-class cricket at the end of last season, can turn out to be beneficial for the franchise. "Tim has all the skills to be a fantastic coach. The experience he will bring is sure to help our players in all facets of the game and bring more positive elements to the way we play," Gillespie said in a statement by Adelaide Strikers on Friday.
