Allan Donald will attempt to help England's attack regain their ''intensity'' after being appointed to a consultancy role within the fast bowling programme on a short-term basis.

Donald, who made his interest in such a role clear this month, has been appointed 24 hours after the England and Wales Cricket Board revealed the findings of Ken Schofield's report into a miserable winter.

He will join up with Peter Moores' side, working under fast-bowling coach Kevin Shine, to aid preparations for the third npower Test against West Indies, and will stay with the squad until the end of the one-day international series against the same team in July.

Donald, 40, made 200 Test and one-day appearances for South Africa.

''It's one of my biggest dreams to work with a national team. South Africa would have been perfect but their current coach is staying on,'' he said.

''I'm really looking forward to it, it's another big challenge.

''I'll sit down with Peter Moores and obviously discuss what he wants to do and what he wants out of it, I know he's trying to change the culture a little bit too.

''When you look at the team and how they bowled against the old enemy, Australia, in the Ashes, the intensity was not quite right, from the outside looking in.

''Hopefully we'll get things rolling, but first I need to sit down with the coach and see where he wants to go.

''I'll be directed by Kevin (Shine) and working closely with him, not just in the England set-up but around the country.

''I'm looking forward to it, it's something I've always wanted to do.

''It's five weeks, starting next Saturday joining the guys just before the third Test, so it's short-term, I'm just delighted with the chance for five weeks to give my ten-pence worth.''
