Major Decisions at adjourned 10th Meeting of BCB Board of Directors

The BCB Board of Directors convened for their adjourned 10th Meeting today. The following major decisions have been taken at the Meeting:

• Khaled Mahmud has been confirmed as Assistant Coach of the Bangladesh National Team.

• Bangladesh Bowling Coach Champaka Ramanayake’s contract has been extended until 31 March 2010.

• Fielding Coach Mohammad Salah Uddin’s contract will be assessed after Zimbabwe’s Tour of Bangladesh in November 2009.

• National Team’s Computer Analyst Nasir Ahmed’s contract has been extended up to 30 June 2010.

• The contracts of Age Group Selectors Ehsanul Haque and Sajjad Ahmed extended till 30 June 2010.

• The contract with National Team Sponsors Grameenphone will expire on 31 October 2009. As the contract is expiring during an ongoing tour (Zimbabwe’s Tour of Bangladesh), therefore based on mutual understanding the Board has agreed to extend it until 15 November 2009.

• The Board approved Pan Pacific Sonargaon Hotel as the new Hospitality Partners for three from the date of agreement.

• Rescheduling of Bangladesh’s Tour of England was approved. According to the new itinerary Bangladesh will reach England on 06 May 2010 to play two 3-day matches, one 4-day match and two Tests before leaving England on 09 June 2010 to participate in the Asia Cup. The team would again return to England on 30 June 2010 to play two practice one-dayers and three ODIs and will depart on 30 July.

England tour will be little hectic for Bangladesh team. Rest of decisions will be judged according to result. So, should wait for those. Good Luck Khaled Mahmud.

[mahbubH]

so we will play test matches against England in May. other than rain no one can save us. bad decision to play England in May, probably BCB does not have any other options.

[Imteaz]

It is good for us that England allow us to play test in England.

[Tigers_eye]

3 practice matches before the test. Much better than what I had expected.

good decision but there also a fear that it will expose more chance to suffer injury.

HHS, why play the game then? Put them up in a shelf. practice under foreign conditions is much important than the fear of losing players to injury.

[MohammedC]

Congratulation Shujon Bhai on becoming the assistant coach of Bangladesh. I hope they keep Salahuddin as fielding coach.

why do you want to keep the fielding coach. our fielding has been nothing short of appalling; although player skills may be to blame, our coach needs to take innovative alternative steps to try to rectify this situation

[Eshen]

BCB don't really have a choice here - Siddons spend so much time away in Australia, they got to keep Sujon to run prep camps before tours start.

[Fazal]

After 2011, ChaCha will be the next BD head coach.

[WarWolf]

All the news are wonderful except the extension of Ramanayake.

[fuzzy]

Ramanayake
i don't think he has improved BD fast bowling much...

[bujhee kom]

Captain & coach Khaled Mahmud Shujan Chacha-ke janai praan-dhala shobeccha o obhinandon ebong aro-kichu amader shommilito praan-dhala bhalobasha!

[cricket_pagol]

Khaled Mahmud Shujon is perfect for our team. I am glad he is getting some respect from the board. How much coaching experience does he have? Somebody please educate me on this...

[zainab]

Will other Asian teams such as UAE, Hong Kong and Afganistan participate in the Asian Cup? From what I heard, it seems that it is only BD,PK,INDIA and SL playing.

Agreed, I dont see any improvement in the fast bowling area, Also, the fielding is not great,too many droppd catches, slip fieding is the worst. They should get a good fielding coach, who can keep these guys on their toes, and a foreign one.

[Imteaz]

Any significant improvement in fielding?
