[ahnaf]

BCB doing good job so far.

Ruwan Kalpage is set to quit his role as Sri Lanka's acting assistant coach to take up a job as Bangladesh fielding coach, but Sri Lanka spin coach Piyal Wijetunge has been convinced to stay, SLC CEO Ashley de Silva confirmed.

Both Kalpage and Wijetunge had sent letters of resignation to the Sri Lankan board earlier this week, but while Kalpage's has been accepted, the executive committee has given Wijetunge a counter-offer.

"The ExCo and Wijetunge had a discussion, and he took a decision to withdraw his resignation," de Silva said. "The negotiations had something to do with a better offer too."

BCB director Jalal Yunus said Bangladesh will now have to look at other candidates for the role of spin coach. "He (Wijetunge) had signed an agreement with us but we are now aware that he has been convinced to stay back in Sri Lanka," Yunus said. "So it is certain that he won't be coming to Bangladesh."
