Nurul Abedin - assistant coach of BD 'A' team

[fwullah]

In Bangladesher Khela, I read that Nurul Abedin Novel (Minhazul Abedin Nannu's brother) is going to be the assistant coach of Bangladesh 'A' team.

Did anyone else posted this news?

[bd_cricket]

Somebody must have posted this - since I knew this (probably from BC forum) since last 3/4 days.

Wasn't Novel a curator for MA Aziz wickets?

[TheWatcher]

Nobel is engaged with the A-team for, atleast, last couple of weeks. Yes, he supervised the making of MA Aziz pitches. He mentored many young Chittanga cricketers, but I doubt he has any formal qualification as a coach.

Wisden overview
Nurul Abedin opened the innings in Bangladesh's first-ever official one-day international, against Pakistan at Moratuwa in 1985-86, but sadly his third-ball duck was not the prelude to a glorious ODI career. In four matches over the course of five years, he managed just 15 runs, at a strike rate of barely 1.5 an over. But as a big fish in a smaller pond, Nurul was quite a predator. In the ICC Trophy of 1990-91, he smacked a century against Canada and 85 against Denmark, as Bangladesh were eliminated at the semi-final stage by a strong Zimbabwean side. Andrew Miller

So he had a century in ICC Trophy.

nobel working as a curator is indeed a news for me. never knew that. I know nobel by his batting, who opened for BD's first few games and also for a long time, with Dhaka Mohammedan SC. Well, his coaching abilities are unheard of as well.

I think nobel also was in charge of the chitagong wicket... He was one of the xplayer made sure that wkt was pro spin

[feisal]

well, anyone remembers his 170 plus in a 90 over league match?..(91-92)

or that huge six of almost 'unhittable Misha' in that 25 overs aba-moha match of 88-89?

I think he also played for Brothers and always very consistent in Dhaka league. To me he was better than his brother Nannu as a batsman and didn’t utilize his skills properly.

that shows how much quality of bd cricketers have improved. 15 runs in 4 ODIs, compare that to the young upcoming shahriar or ashraful 100 against world's no.1 side.

I think BCB should involve Bulbul, Akram, Nannu as well for different development project. They were our great player and we have test status because of their some great performance [did you guys remember Akram Khan made 65 against Hollan in the ICC trophy]

i think his nick name is novel and he was quite good at his days in dhaka league.... couldnt do that well for the national side though...

>> To me he was better than his brother Nannu as a batsman and didn’t utilize his skills properly.

Cannot agree with this. To me Nannu is by far the best batsman in pre-test era.

Nobel has done some professional coaching courses until level-3 I guess. As fas as I know, current A team coach, Shaun Williams was his teacher on those courses, so they know each other evry well.

He has been working as a coach since he retired from cricket.
