"Brett Lee will aid Ireland’s World Cup preparations after agreeing a short-term deal with Cricket Ireland to act as their bowling coach during the warm-up period in Sydney," the .cricketireland.ie reported.
Lee retired from all forms of the game last month.
Ireland Head Coach Phil Simmons was quoted a saying by the website: "Brett Lee has a wonderful knowledge of fast bowling, and his special insight of Australian pitches will help give our bowlers further confidence ahead of their group matches."
“I’m sure all our bowlers will benefit from the experience that a two-time World Cup winner has accumulated, especially in the pressure situations of a global event," he said.
“It’s a fanatstic opportunity for our bowlers to learn from a living legend and one I’m sure they’ll all benefit from," he said.
Ireland will face West Indies in their first World Cup match on Feb 16.
