Trevor Bayliss has no plans to return to full-time work after leaving the England camp, but he might make an exception if the Australia job ever became available.

Bayliss is due to fly home on Wednesday following the conclusion of the Ashes series, at the end of a four-year stint with the English men's side.

His first proposed gig as a T20 freelance coach was due to be with Dhaka Dynamites in the Bangladesh Premier League, but that has been scuppered after the BCB downgraded the competition and chose to run it internally on a tighter budget.

Bayliss will be involved in the Indian Premier League at Sunrisers Hyderabad and is open to further opportunities on the franchise circuit. 

But as for long-term roles, he is all but done.

"I've said before there is only one job I would take on in a full-time job, but I think it is in pretty good hands," Bayliss said.

"Justin [Langer] is doing a great job and there are some very good Australian coaches coming through the system.

Trevor Bayliss has left his role as England head coach

"I've signed up to do the IPL but if there is anything anyone in Australia wants me to get involved in I am more than happy to listen to what they have in mind.

"If I can help out, fantastic. But if not, I will enjoy watching the Australian and England boys going round again."

Langer, however, would welcome Bayliss coming onboard at Cricket Australia in some capacity in the near future.

The Australia head coach has recruited Steve Waugh and Ricky Ponting as mentors during the Ashes and would not hesitate to draft in other familiar faces in similar positions going forward.

"We've had a number of them come through and that will continue," Langer said. "I think there's huge upside to that system of doing things.

"But certainly Trevor Bayliss, from a personal point of view and as a mentor, I'm sure I can learn a lot from TB if he's open to it.

"He's a seasoned campaigner, he's an Australian and I know he's done a great job for England, but I know he loves Australia as well so who knows what will happen there."
