Nazmul Hasan Papon’s intruding leadership might not be going down well many, but if Courtney Walsh’s words are anything to go by, then it could be inferred that he is not going to simply sit and agree to whatever is said to him by his superiors.

When speaking about the losses in the last outings against Sri Lanka, Walsh insisted that there was haste in the team, but believes that things are different this time around with him at helm of the team since he is trying to communicate with people to do their respective jobs.

"Everything happened in a rush in the last [series]," Walsh said. "It is different now since there's someone who is responsible for organising and ensuring things are done properly. I will be trying to have dialogues with all the relevant parties, as to what's required. I think it is good for someone to be able to hold their hand up and say yes or no to what's happening.

After being unable to find a new coach for Bangladesh, Courtney Walsh has been assigned the task to lead the team as head coach with Richard Pybus being touted to be the next coach of the nation after the conclusion of the Nidahas trophy.

Walsh, meanwhile, stated that he is looking forward to the task and is confident that he will get full backing from the board and the players.

"I am excited to be in that position. I am sure I will get the full support of the BCB, president, directors, senior players and even the junior players. Once everybody comes to the table and we work together, it will be good to start planning how we go from here."

When he was asked about what instructions he will give to the players during the match, he stated that he would give the players the freedom to go out there and enjoy themselves as playing without pressure and feeling proud when representing the nation is what he wants from them.

"I will tell them to go out there and express themselves and enjoy the game," he said. "They have to execute the game plan as best as they can. It is no point going into a game with added pressure. We have to relax and enjoy what we are doing, with purpose. I want them to feel proud playing for Bangladesh."

Finally, he spoke of the importance of the pacers in the tournament.
