The national cricket team is unlikely to get a batting consultant for the long term for which they are craving for.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) though had already finalized a batting coach for the national team; it is unlikely that he would continue for long time. Former English cricketer John Lewis is in the top of BCB’s list. He is scheduled to arrive in Dhaka before January 10.
For the time being, he will oversee Tigers batting department in home series against West Indies and away series against New Zealand.
Akram Khan, chairman of the BCB’s Cricket Operations, has confirmed to the media that the Bangladesh has appointed a batting coach for the time being.
“We are trying to get a coach for the long term,” he said on Thursday.
“There is Covid-19 problem and most of the coaches are not willing to stay for long time. But we have been in touch. Hopefully the matter will be finalized within a couple of days.”
