Former England Test spinner Monty Panesar will work alongside Australia's spin bowlers as a consultant ahead of the Test series in India that begins in February.
The 50-Test veteran will starting working with off-spinner Steve O'Keefe at Cricket Australia's Centre of Excellence in Brisbane this week.
"I'll definitely be picking his brains," O'Keefe told Sky Sports Radio.
"It's a good opportunity again to head up to Brisbane on the spinning wickets and Monty, he's got an outstanding Test record and a really good one in India."
Panesar currently plays for Campbelltown in Sydney first grade, and his advice won't be limited to just the bowlers, as opening batsman Matt Renshaw is set to join O'Keefe and Panesar in Brisbane ahead of the first Test in Pune on February 23.
"Obviously there has been a question mark over Australian batsmen in away series and so I hope to be able to give them a hand with that stuff and obviously help with the spin bowlers as well," Panesar told News Corp Australia.
