Saqlain will reach India on November 1 and remain with the English team for 15 days, helping them prepare for a Test series, which is expected to be played on spin friendly pitches.
The 5-Match Test Series is starting on November 09,2016
"I have been entrusted the task of helping the English spinners prepare for the series in India where normally pitches help the spinners," he said.
"I will also be giving tips to the English batsmen on how to counter the Indian spinners on their home pitches. It should be a challenging assignment," Saqlain added.
The off-spinner toured India in 1999 with the Pakistan team and shone with ball in the Test matches to help his team win in Chennai and Kolkata with a bagful of wickets.
"I am hopeful my advice will be helpful the England players in India," he said.
Saqlain, who is based in the United Kingdom, said he had no concerns over travelling to India despite the ongoing tensions between the two countries
