The former Bangladesh bowling coach Charl Langeveldt and current bowling coach of South Africa, has been hailed by Lungi Ngidi, the young enthusiastic protea pacer for his return to form.  

Charl Langeveldt was in Bangladesh in the last year December and served as the Tigers' pace bowling coach. However, he could not spend much time here, left his job here at the call of his country.

Langeveldt is enjoying working in his country. Making his team's pacer like Kagiso Rabada and Lungi Ngidi more sharp and accurate to keep pace with the tough stage of international cricket.

Lungi Ngidi, has praised this former Tigers coach. Not only praise, after eight months of injury he managed to put on a brilliant performance in the international arena and gives the whole credit to Langeveldt.

Ngidi got 12 wickets in his four ODI after his comeback. The right-arm pacer also hit his career-best bowling figure (6/58) in this time.

He also took 13 wickets in six T20 matches. Where there is also a memorable spell of defending seven runs in the last over against England in London.

All of this has been done due to Langeveldt's motivation, said Ngidi.

“He is very supportive, he encourages me to play the way I think, so as a bowler I feel really comfortable with executing my plans,” Ngidi said in audio released by Cricket South Africa on Thursday.

“I never feel as though he will not agree with what I am saying. He has been there before, he has been in situations where you have the ball and you have to deviate from the game-plan. He has got a lot of knowledge, and was a very skilful bowler. It has helped my cricket a lot,” Ngidi added.

Despite his success, Ngidi feels he still has a lot more work to do to hit his best form.

“I would rate it (the season) at about a six (out of 10). It was good, but to me, it was still not good enough. There were a few games I could have gone for less runs,” he said.
