If they want to look outwith, then Will Rhodes at Warwickshire would be an option. Quality all-rounder, and Warwicks won the title under him last year.

There are similarities with Alistair Cook, in fact I'd say his technique is slightly better.
It's the fluency in scoring strokes he falls short on.
