Paul Downton, managing director of England Cricket, said: "During his time with both England Lions and the senior teams Mark has proved a valuable addition to the coaching group.
"He has formed excellent relationships with players and a strong partnership with Peter Moores and the management team and I have no doubt he will continue to have a positive impact as we begin an exciting winter of cricket."
