Ray Bright, the former Test spinner, has expressed interest in joining Australia's selection committee. Bright wants to bring a specialist to reduce the bowling for the group, while Dean Jones is still interested in a selection of paper does not win the coach of Pakistan.

Australia are looking for three new options, as president of full-time and two part-time independent of the selectors, when the Argus was the restructuring of the review committee. One of the recommendations of the Argus was that, if possible, the panel should feature a mix of men and beat the experience of bowling.

After the fastest man in ancient Merv Hughes was fired as a year last switch, the panel consisted of four ex-drummer Andrew Hilditch, Greg Chappell, David Boon and Jamie Cox. There was no input from specialist spin the old legspinner Trevor Hohn left in early 2006.

Five years after it was precisely at a time when Australia needed an expert to slow bowling, spinners as 11 were tried in the control group after the retirement of Shane Warne. And even if Nathan Lyon impressed with his test debut in Sri Lanka, the issues of spin is likely to remain so in the coming months.

Bright took 53 wickets for Australia test, bowling left-arm spin in a ten-year career, and he believes it could offer a lot of experience on the new panel. A selector of the State of Victoria for a period of great success for the Bush Rangers in the last decade, Brightpoint has also seen many of the best young players in the country in his role as a national youth choose.

"I put my hand in a separate part-time selector," Bright said ESPNcricinfo. "I have been involved with Victoria for the past ten years as a voter, and as I was about six years as a selector of national youth I saw so many guys now running at an early age, under 17 years and have seen him a lot of established players in the process.

"I'm always interested in promoting spin and put my point of view could be more appropriate under certain conditions. I can certainly help any sign, I must find that balance. It does not hurt to have a bit of a mixture of any panel. It was probably a bit heavy stick base, one would have thought. "

For now, the armies of Australia are still chosen by a selection committee composed of the holders of the Guard - Hilditch, Chappell and Cox - and the captain and the coach, who will be part of the new group. Cricket Australia announced last month to the selectors, but not be appointed to the new position of general manager of the team's performance is met.

Höhns, former chairman of selectors, and Rod Marsh has been linked to full-time role as national coach, while Jones is interested in a part-time position. However, it is also one of the final candidates to become coach of Pakistan, and said that in any position, it would be the hope of contributing to the future of the game.

"I am more like part-time work [full time]," said Jones. "I want to put something back into the cricket. I go to the other side of the fence and be a little more interactive with the game, instead of being in the media, I really enjoyed."
