New Bangladesh bowling coach finalised - BCB chief

[Out_You_Go]

BCB president Nazmul Hassan has said that the board has finalised a bowling coach for the Bangladesh team. The name of the individual cannot be revealed yet due to an obligation but Hassan said that he would arrive in the country at the end of August.

The board had been looking for a new bowling coach since Heath Streak quit in May. Aaqib Javed had turned down the offer in June, and since then, the BCB had put up a shortlist of candidates.

"The good news is that our search is over," Hassan said. "We know who we will take [as bowling coach]. But, unfortunately, because of some obligations, we cannot announce his name. We are hoping he will come to Dhaka any time in the last week of this month. But since he is working somewhere, we shouldn't be making any announcements. Once his contract is over, we will announce it together."

Meanwhile, Hassan informed that former India left-arm spinner Venkatapathy Raju will arrive in Dhaka later this month as a spin consultant for the High Performance programme. He also said that Javed, who is currently in Dhaka for a seven-day stint as the HP's pace consultant, has been asked to take a look at the progress of the bowling actions of Taskin Ahmed and Arafat Sunny, who were suspended by the ICC for illegal bowling actions in March.

Well one coach who finishes his assignment end August is Allan Donald. Someone in a cricinfo comment speculated it could be the current bowling coach of Australia.

yup I guessed it too... but at the same time, It seems highly unlikely that Donald who already has an IPL job would come here specially with the current situation

[jeesh]

These days usually coaches are hired for 100 days a year or 150 days or sth of that sort. It is accepted that they will also be involved with T20 teams apart from coaching a NT.

But seriously if BCB can pull this off, this would be a dream move. Fingers crossed.

I really wish BCB acquired Warne for a few weeks... This guy is a brilliant tactician and could work wonders for Jubair

Herath would be a good choice for spin bowling coach sometime in the future after his retirement(if he wants to do coaching)....I really like his never die mentality l.
