Former Pakistan off-spinner Saqlain Mushtaq could help England out again after his work with Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid.
Saqlain spent time with England's spinners before the second Test against Pakistan at Old Trafford, a game the hosts won by 330 runs.
Although it was England's seamers who took the majority of the wickets, coach Trevor Bayliss was pleased with the work Saqlain accomplished and is planning to invite him back.
Saqlain's former team-mate Mushtaq Ahmed was in charge of England's spin bowlers before returning home to join Pakistan's coaching staff.
"He was here for this Test match. We'll probably look at something else further down the line as well," Bayliss said.
"Both Mo [Ali] and Rash [Rashid], who was here in the lead-up to the Test, enjoyed working with him very much. By the sound of it, it was very positive and we'll look to use him again.
"It wasn't necessarily a lot technically, it was more tactical. That's where we think both Rash and Mo need to make improvements, to go ahead in the international game...More field-settings and how to bowl to different players.
"It's good to have someone like Saqlain come in, Mahela Jayawardene come in, people that have been top of their field in the past and are able to pass on their knowledge.
"[But] those greats of the game very rarely get involved full-time, so you do have to bring them in series by series."
One of few concerns from the Old Trafford victory was Moeen's habit of bowling the odd beamer which could see him removed from the attack by the umpires if they are repeated.
"Four or five times in the last couple of Tests, and one or two at practice as well," said Bayliss. "I'm not sure if he's trying to bowl anything different or not, but he has put himself under a little bit of pressure, I think.
"When you do that, it's difficult to bowl at this level and especially against opposition that are brought up playing against spinners.
"He bowls wicket-taking balls. For me, he's got to work on his consistency to get the ball to bounce in the one spot a lot more often. He's certainly working hard at it, so hopefully that starts to come together."
