The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) on Wednesday revealed that they have released pace bowling coach Charl Langeveldt from his post following request from Cricket South Africa (CSA).
The former South Africa paceman is expected to take up a coaching role with CSA.
“I can confirm that we have received a formal request for his release. We value our strong cricketing relationship with CSA,” BCB CEO Nizamuddin Chowdhury said here on Wednesday.
“We have also taken into consideration that he was a South African international cricketer and we understand his reasons for wanting to work with his own team. The Board has decided to release him with immediate effect,” the BCB CEO said.
Langeveldt’s link with a role in the South Africa team is part of an overhaul in their coaching setup, which saw Mark Boucher named head coach recently. They have also called up Jacques Kallis as their batting consultant.
Langeveldt had joined the Bangladesh Team’s coaching staff in July this year on a contract that was due to end in 2021. His appointment also came in as part of a similar overhaul in the Bangladesh coaching staff as he replaced Courtney Walsh, while Russell Domingo took over as head coach in place of Steve Rhodes. Daniel Vettori later joined as spin-bowling consultant, replacing Sunil Joshi.
